So I finally got my heim joint from speedway. Went with a 5/8" joint.

Anyways, Im building my own bars for my EF. Solid mount on the lower control arm (no heim) and need to cut my new radius rod to length, weld on a nut, then thread my heim into it.

I dont know exactly how much "pull/push" I should have

Ive have my crossmember off for a good while now. Im curious how these bars are adjusted and setup. S

Should I build the bar so that the heim can PULL the lower control arms towards the front of the car the entire length of the thread on the heim. Or do I have to anything to determind where the LCA will be?

Thanks guys

 

I have been building my own traction bars for awhile now and have found that adusting the arm longer moving the wheels towards the back of the car about 2 turns helps quite a bit - I would just unthread both heim joint two or three turns each on your radius arm plugs and then cut radius arms to length for 0 degrees toe

 

Alrighty sounds good, was just making sure people didnt set these up with HUGE ammounts of push or pull on the radius arm
