Ok, I finally got the Cruiser sitting on the ground. In doing the front to back and "X" mesurements I can see that the driverside is 1/4" to far forward. I would rather move the pass side back 1/4" to straighen it out. Is this as simple as turning both the upper and lower pass side heims out??

Shawn,
yeah, alignments are like that. In many cases, you can make the adjustment by moving one side forward, or the other side back.

I say there should be no problem with moving the p-side out providing there are plenty of threads engaged once you get the alignment straightened out.

shawn, I just noticed this, maybe its a typo....

you state:
"d-side too far forward"
..."rather move p-side back"

if you're talking about the same axle, you either have to move the d-side back OR the p-side forward.

I have a feeling this is what you meant, but thought i'd seek clarification.

I knew I was going to confuse myself:(

The DS needs to go forward 1/4". Or the PS needs to go back 1/4".

Back is better ;)
