I noticed you did not trim your upper control arm adjustment sleeves. I did not trim mine either.
My max caster was 6.9 degrees. It seems some need trimming and some do not.
I would trim mine, if I had the opportunity.
Your tie rod ends will also rust. I used SharkHide on mine. Natural finish and no rust.
I always enjoy seeing the clean assembly of parts.
Hi Railroad. Great tip on the black oxide fasteners. I didn't even think of that. I will do the same and coat them, as well as the tie rods.
Yes, I've read about the UCA trimming. I'm a little on the fence about it, so figured I would take my chances and start with full length. I may regret that.
Thanks for your review and suggestions! Very helpful.
