[QUOTE="Eviltwins344, post: 12807524, member: 146123"] I can say with some certainty that I'm of average intelligence but occasionally in my ignorance, as previously indicated, I blindly fall into sheer genius. Went to the store and picked up the latest release of the mind numbing Twilight saga for the wife to undo what ever "I" did yesterday that sent me to the garage. Little did I know that this would result in her taking over the television and sending me to the garage. Totally unplanned. Just wanted to add the back story, Anyways........ I got the lower control arms, track bar, and drop brackets installed. I was a little nervous about going with the rod ends on both sides, instead of the polyurethane on one. My concerns, upon initial review, are no longer of any concern.

Everything fit perfectly and the only time it didn't was when I was doing something wrong. Which happened, until I read the instructions.

I believe this answers a question posed earlier. Adjusting the track bar was a breeze and I had the wheel as centered as I could get it using the level and tape measure technique. I will be sending to my buddies alignment rack shortly. I'm within a 32nd of an inch now. The concept behind the track bar was pretty straight forward.
