Denny,

Just to put you mind a rest a little, to my knowlege, all Contemporarys used Jag spindles up front. Some were large bearing and some small bearing, but the set-up is the same.

Any good alignment shop can dial it in for you. Just remember that the rear needs alignment too. Not just camber settings.

I had trouble with rear camber, because the jacka$$ I got the kit from sold me half shafts that were too short! If you see a bunch of shims under the flange (inboard), you got the same thing I did. Go get longer half shafts and get rid of the excess shims. The four studs on each axle should have plenty of thread showing above the nuts. (self locking nuts)

Al

Last note. Sometimes Contemporary's chassis jigs weren't all that accurate. With mine we almost ran out of adjustment on the front because of it.
