I just purchased some adjutable LCAs to fix a problem with my rear not being centered fore/aft on the passenger side. Does anyone have any tips for adjusting the new ones so that everything is square, or performance tips for adjusting the rear for the best handling?

Thanks

 

I just purchased Lakewood traction/lift bars. I also wanted some advise on adjusting them.

 

Just center one side in the wheelwell (center spring into can area mainly so nothing rubs) then make sure the other side has the identical measurement from eyehole to eyehole. Any alignment adjustment for a tweaked unibody would have to be adjusted on an alignment rack, so just set them equal for your best bet and have an alignment done if things feel like they are driving sideways(rear steering to one side or the other while going straight). This is rare unless car has been bent.

 

Get em' so they look about right, and have someone follow you on a nice flat road. Have the 'follower' check for dog-trackin'--rear tires aren't directly behind the front tires. To do it correctly, have an alignment shop can set the rear axle straight. The adjustability isn't for looks, IMO.
