    Rocket Black right front

    I have an '05 Rocket black front end I bought last year. While checking over everything, I noticed that there are 2 holes for the right front lower in the cradle and for the front rod on the 1 piece lower. Also the rack has 2 holes. All of mine are in the inside holes. Is this right? Doesn't the right front benefit from the outside holes? Any insight would be appreciated,

    The wide rf seems to be preferred but without the right rack width the steering can get very questionable. Most people I know with black fronts are still using the original holes

          Going by the Rocket set up book, the outside position on the rack would be correct. But if I moved the lower out and went to the reccommended rack position., I would need a longer upper, or more shims to get the required camber. I am running the spec'd upper as well as Rocket lowers. Something just doesn't to make sense.

            Yes you need to space out the upper arm to get the correct camber

                This sounds to me like you have a blue/gray car not a black.

                  I'd agree I would say check your spindle if its a rocket spindle or see if you have different steering arm positions or call rocket. I haven't seen any Wide RF Blacks unless its a custom build
