So i have been having a small issue with the wheel alignment on the Torana front end and although its not that bad its been a thorn in my side since i have finished and been driving around.
What the issue is, the offset bushes i have in the lower control arms to do wheel alignments get knocked out and needs continual adjustments to keep the tyres from wearing out.
Today I took delivery of some custom upper control arms that are adjustable via rose joint adapters. This will let me align the caster / camber and lock it in on a more permanent basis.
It will also allow me to use rubber bushes on the bottom arms that will help dampen road noise.

All i have to do is drop the front end out and do the replacement, argggghhh, not an easy task.
