Seems a lot of these new "parts changers" cleverly disguised as mechanics are lost without computer generated information to set things up!!!!!
I knew I could count on you Dave. Thanks. This stuff is pricey...IMO. I too will make a bump steer gauge. Probably start out with a bolt pattern tool (plate) since theyre cheap and set it up for bump steer and a toe add-on.

For the most part...my generation and those that are younger....think a computer will fix anything. I agree with you fully. If we could just learn to go back to the basics...in this case...the physics. Darn if I can't find my "Doorslammers" book. I've tucked her away somewhere. I did order "Chassis Engineering" and hope to find it more valuable as the "Doorslammers" book was more straight line oriented.

Are you all cooking up there? The humidy had been killing me here in Arkansas. But looks like we got some relief today. Maybe I wont be poking around this weekent and can actually get something done on the truck.
