adjusting lcon traction bars?
I was wondering how to adjust toe on the lcon traction bars, or if its even possible to adjust toe? I haven't picked up my traction bar yet so I am not sure.
Thanks in advance

thanks for the clear up, for some reason i thought the toe was adjusted through those raidius rods but i knew it was adjusted on the tie rods.

When you intall aftermarket crossmembers like Lcon or Full-Race you dont touch the tierods, just the radius rods. One way to eyeball adjust the radius rod is to lenghten/shorten it until the fender gap in front of the tire and in the read of the tire is about even. To give you an example: if the tire is too far forward (radius rod too short) then the inner tire will rub the inner fender in the front. Eyeballing the radius rod length should work until the car can be taken to an alignment shop.

What about afterwards?
I dont understand what you are trying to say. Maybe you should elaborate a little bit. Why would you want to get an alignment BEFORE a traction bar install? You'll end up doing it afterwards anyways, because you're not going to be able to manually get the radius rod to the correct spec. So why do one before and after an install?

I don't really understand why they would say that. The radius rods on the L-Con bars are adjustable, right? So the whole point is that you can adjust your caster. You're going to do an alignment afterwards then, why would you do it before? Everyone is confused....
