Do you have a link to the uppers? I am hoping that one end is spherical or would ask that you replace the axle bushings with a spherical one.

OK... great

Seems to me, the pinion angle is 1.5~2 degrees, but don't quote me, as I am not a 1/4 mile dood. Is your car lowered or OEM ride height? Hopefully, somebody will chime in here that can give you some specifics on the questions I cannot answer... pretty much all of them

Are their heim joins on all 4 ends of your control arms? If so set the pinion angle for -2.
