Default Strud Rods

I finally finished installing the new front and rear suspension after 4 days of hard work and i took my car to the alignment shop, the guy told me he did everything he could but he had not room to adjust the right lower control arm, he said the strud rod need to be shorter so he can pull it a little bit more, do you guys know if its possible to buy a shorter strud rod?

i have a 67 289

Thanks

The GW strut rods are not cheap, but they are worth it.
They replace the front rubber strut rod bushing with a heim joint providing a much more responsive suspension.

a 67 has the adjustable strut rods as well. I think someone was talking about putting more threads on the rod making it more adjustable.

Ask a local machine shop or ford dealership if they can thread them out alittle further...
