    Look at any MII suspension and eyeball a line from the tie rod through the lower ball joint and you'll see that it lines up at the center of the rear axle, or somewhere thereabouts depending on wheelbase.
    i was trying to pic. that and i can't, i just all ways turned the wheel hard left checked the Ackerman and moved the drag link a little one way or the other and go racing. if it helped fine. on a st car never saw the need.

    Set it using the factory settings, and nobody will argue. If your donor car had drums all around, the master cylinder should already have residual valves in it.

    well thanks guys but i have been told i need residual pressure in the brake lines and to tell one beaks the bleeder screw and a little squirte of brake fluid comes out you have residual pressure. tried it nothing , drums on front and rear.
    in regards to ackerman i am going to leave as stock but am going to be prepared to shim the front steering arms on the clip if needed .

    pope i have been requested to provide the ackerman readings and some other stuff plus pass the inspection program to certify my car. the thing is i work for them and have to live by their rules and their requests,cant put up much fight . i will get through it but it will take some work
