Voodoo13 Upper Control Arm Install. Anyone running these?
 
Needing some help understanding how to safely adjust these for when I put them on my car. I read the instructions but there are a few ways I see them being adjusted and installed in the instructions. If someone with these installed could provide some pictures, that would be great. I can't find videos online with anyone putting these on a 370z, and most people don't explain the adjustment process at all.

For a conservative to moderate ride height, best practice is to leave an equal amount of threads on either side of the inboard jam nut. That way, when you get the car aligned, the technician has flexibility to adjust in either direction to get close to recommended specs. If you are slammed or are trying to squeeze some wide rubber under your fenders, you won't have a choice but to max out the adjustments in that direction.

ok. So to leave some adjustment later while on the car, run the big adjuster in and heim joint adjuster out like in the picture attached?

That screw circle in red has to be cut off. It's the same with the SPL arms.

Both the front and rear adjustments on the arms will both adjust camber and caster. Set the adjuster in the middle of it's travel when you install the arms.

:iagree: you do not necessarily have to cut the bolt. I just found a shorter bolt and swapped it in when I installed the SPL arms.

Either way, it has to go.
