From post #3, I kinda got the feeling you are having a problem locating the adjuster bolts, into the sockets, on the adjuster arms, inside the LCAs. Are you OK there?
-I usually take the adjuster bolts right out and put a dab of anti-seize there in the sockets, and on the saddles,and after cleaning the threads, a bit on them too. Now I know some guys might frown on that, but after all the years of doing alignments, I never experienced, or got a report of, even one adjuster bolt that backed out. At onetime I marked the boltheads. I dont bother anymore.
-And I know I shouldnt tell you this either, but with the anti-seize in there its a breeze to adjust the ride height, on the turning plates,without jacking the car up.
-And on your Duster, if you have 24 inch front tires (235/70-14), a good initial ride height setting might be 5.75 to 6 inches between the lowest point of the K-frame and the surface under the wheels(usually floor). You can usually go up to a 1/4 inch either way. But at 5.5 inches speed bumps become an issue with most brands of under-the-draglink headers. And with those same 24 inch tires,when you get much past 6.25 inches, cornering becomes uncomfortable (at least for me). For my S-clone, I have set the suspension at 1/4 inch,front down-rake, as measured at the rocker ends, and the K clearance at 5.75 inches.(This required rear spring and mounting point changes as well.) I have TTIs so speed bumps dont drag. After numerous adjustments and alignments; I have found this to work for me, for over 14 years and 125,000 miles. Dont forget that each time you change the ride height, its back to the alignment shop.
-BTW, why do you ask about clocking?
