Buying parts for rebuilding front suspension:
Are the fancy bearing uppers by Howe and Joe's worth it?
If so, how do I determine if I need straight up, or the angled ball joint mount?
Discovered that the previous owner of the car had messed with the lengths from the setup sheets for my car..he had 10.5" LFU mounted inside with a 15" lower LF, and a 10" RF upper mounted outside, with a 16 5/8" RF lower. The setup sheets recommend 10.5" upper inside with 16 5/8" LF lower, and an 8.75" RF upper with an 18 5/8" lower. Thoughts on the overall effect I should expect with the car by going back to these baseline settings? Will it be difficult to achieve proper static ride height camber with those lengths on the RF? (I understand basics of roll center, but I think the parts on the car were haphazardly selected to be honest, so I just want an idea of what to expect)
