that is.. i get all FIG stuff haha

btw my rear toe arm got scratched up from a money wrench that Firestone guy used idiot doesnt realize that hose was there to use..

i think figs shoulda had them middle section cut out so you can use a wrench...
I will consider making a aluminum clamp on that will go on the knurled section. One of the things that keeps the price on these what they are is that the swaged tube sections I get stocked from another manufacturer. If I made them myself they would be 3X the cost of what I pay. But I might be able to get a hex extrusion cut and slotted with a single or double clamp screw. I think if the mechanic takes his time it should be OK with the tube (but most are getting paid by the job, not hourly.)

it drives like it did with a good alignment .. before i had like -1-2 toe for both sides. now its green.. dunno what degree tho..

I do not get the sensation of the rear slipping out when driving over the reflector/divider thing on a rainy day.

so far so good!

Gotta get under the car and straighten the joints tho... alignment dude just aligned it and left it as is so its not perfectly centered like Fig's instructions for the RLCA

btw, for others...

the trac link allows you to move the wheels forward or backward. I had an issue where one side of the rear wheel rubbed the front fender and the other side of the wheel rubbed the back fender.

I'm gonna have to go back and adjust the trac link to let the wheels sit perfectly centered.

I only noticed rubbing after lowering the vehicle some more.
