    Okay thanks, I turned the adjuster around and I'll drill and tap a screw in. No clicking or anything. If it was my jeep I would have just tacked it with the welder . I've ordered a lot of parts from Speedway now and the only directions I got were for Ford spindles????? I got chevy spindles....They do have some good pictures in their catalogue though, that's what I've been using so far. Maybe next time I order something I'll ask if they have any instructions.

    Dave,
    You should offer your wife's services to a few of the street rod parts vendors - to name two that come to mind - Lokar and TCI. Thank goodness I spent enough years engineering bits and pieces for gas turbines that I can figure most of these components out. Even providing decent pictures instead of a 6 year olds scribblings would be sufficiant.

    The wire ties are for checking shock travel. Tighten them down with the shocks fully extended, then put weight on the car. Of course, a tape measure works OK also.
