The front suspension is next. The upper A-arm swedge tubes were shortened to give more adjustment for caster and camber. They took off about 1/4 inch on each end. The lowerer arm has also been shortened a little to get the tires tucked up under the fender well nice and tight.





You can see on the last picture when you look at the front radiator/body support tubes have been changed from 2 inch tube to 1x2 inch tube. This is a great change. It allows them to lower the rack an inch to correct the bump steer issue that some have commented on in the past. I plan to check and report these numbers after the alignment is set. I will probably add the Steeda bump steer kit to provide any fine tuning it might need. I think this change to the frame will fix 99% of the problem.
