Traction Bar Adjusting??
 
OK i did some research on how to do it properly, and from what iv gathered, the adjustible rods, are not suposed to be pusshing back or pulling the tire forward. They are just suposed to be there to prevent the wheel from going forward on launch.

I also read i need to get a nother alignment :(
DO i do this before or after i adjust the bars??

Yes you will need to get a allignment. You will have to ask the people doing the alignment to measure the gap between the fender and the wheel(front and back) to get it centered and this will also correct any caster issue you have. Then the basic toe alignment also.

You shouldent have to ask them to do anything but a full meal deal. If they cant figure out how to adjust your caster you need to take it somewhere else.

Did it yesterday... Checked camber, then did toe.... I put my wheels back about an inch more than they were... It seems to hook up better, but i think im going to move them forward a bit more. those big ass tires are a bit too close to the rear of the wheelwell... Car tracks noticeably better. I had them do it while I sat in the car.....

Positive caster is a good thing (putting the whells BACK.....) but I think im going to move mine forward a wee bit. Just make SURE rthat the bars are the SAME length.


se tyour camber, then toe... then ---- with the caster
