Also, when you go to adjust the upper control arm for camber, extend the traction rod the same amount to optimize bumpsteer.
Interesting. I could have sworn on my last S13 they mounted up perfect... I know in the front the tophat swivels but i guess i didnt realize the rear allowed movement of the tophat independent of the shaft.

Thanks for the tip.
