FRPP Handling Pack Install

[Orf]

You have an adjustable UCA, no? That makes adjusting the pinion angle somewhat easier.

Yes.

Just getting the car set up to get the angle right is a pain unless you own a lift or have a shop do it.

Nice write up and pictures Tommy,
I've never done one before but I think I can install the FRPP handling pack.
After everything is installed, What type of alignments are needed? Is it just a standard front end alignment or is there something special / custom that needs to be done?

Just a front end re-check alignment.

I always have a 4 wheel alignment done.

You are removing the front struts which can move the front alignment off.

Sorry for the late response.

How would you align the rear on these cars without anything being adjustable...just wondering...

The front end is adjusted using the rear as a baseline. If your rear is within tolerances, then alignment workey.

Of course some of our members cars may dog track a little.

My understanding is it is slight, but can be done by loosening the control arm bolts...loading the suspension...adjusting the front end...then re-torqueing the control arm bolts.

I think they can move eventually. The only real correction, IMO, is using off-set bushings to lock in the geometry change.

I could be wrong.
