Hey guys,
Before I start tearing the front end apart, what measurements are necessary?
LCA pivot point to bottom of spindle?
Center of wheel opening?
What else?

Thnx
 
Maybe ride height if you are happy with that and that is convolute in the service manual, I would document that any way you feel is accurate and repeatable.
 
Ok thanks.
I know that after reassembly, ride height is first to set. Then play with caster, camber, toe and get close enough until I get to my alignment shop.

Guess its not as crucial for disassembly. Ill take some base measurements and pics for reference.

Thanks again.
 
Make sure if using rubber LCA bushings to NOT tighten your LCA pin nuts on the K frame until the car is on the ground and at the ride height you want it at.
