Hmmm - sounds like some work ahead of me.

Would it matter whether this work was all down with the body on or off?

What I'm thinking here is to get the geometries set up to something acceptable and safe drivable for engineering / RW. I am planning to revisit back to a bare chassis for clean up and additions post engineering, and so I would tackle suspension set up properly at that time.

Clearly it is easier to work on the suspension without the body in place, but is this needed to get it all set properly? Or can it be a two stage process of set up to almost right, add body and bits and do final fine settings in this state?

Please advise so that I can plan a course of action that doesn't burn too much money revisiting the issue. I will visit a suitable alignment shop at the end to get it all accurate, I just don't want to be visiting them twice!

Cheers
