Hello everyone,

I have SPL front control arms installed for a while now and haven't really had any issue. I had them installed when I swapped out my suspension and then had them aligned. However, I will be going to the track in a month or so and want to make sure my setting aren't all screwed up. Nothing serious, I'm not in competition, just going for fun so will be going at a relatively safe 7/10ths speed.

The question: Should the settings for both arms be the same or is manufacturing tolerance off by an amount that is visually noticeable?

If I look at the hybrid adjusters on the SPL arms I can notice that my passenger side is adjusted out pretty far while the driver side is in a more moderate position. Should I have my alignment redone?

Thanks for reading.
