Default How to adjust LCA?

I got some new adjustable LCA and my question is before everything is tightened down how do i know the left and the right LCA are identical lengths? Should i adjust it to the smallest length possible? Thanks for any reply in advanced! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Get a stock LCA, and lay them side by side, adjusting the new one until the holes line up. Get a long bolt to go through both, that way you can line them up perfectly.

I agree with you guys, but I've always wondered why anyone would want adjustable LCA on a street driven car?

i did that but since my lca is rod/rod ends i feel like there is quite a area of play as the bolt goes through the lca should i tighten it (shortening the lca) after i bolt it on the car and that way htere is no more play between the rod end and the frame of the car?

Or take it and get a thrust angle alignment done on it.
