Question UPR LOWER CONROL ARM QUESTION?

I Have a set of the Mustang Upr Chromoly Rear Adjustable Lower Control Arms with 4 banger springs. I was wondering what effect does it have on the car when you adjust it, I know how the tops work. Reason me asking is the wheel well on one side has a bigger gap then the other side about 1 inch. This is what i have on the car thanks. http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...r-Control-Arms

to "properly" adjust those control arms, you need the car on an alignment rack. The idea is to get the rear end of the car to be squared off with the front end. you can basically set your rear caster with those.

well, unless you have a rack in your back yard, that would be the logical course of action.


duh.
