These things are pissing me the **** off. They'll self destruct but refuse to come out, and how the hell would you even rig this up in a press?

Neighbor brought out his compressor. Seems 130-150psi is what you need to work on this stuff. Left side is tacked in, will do passenger side tomorrow and rough in an alignment. The upper ball joint was good on the driver's side, so even if the passenger's is trashed I have all parts on hand needed to get it back together. The gun sounds EVIL at 150psi.

I got the other side done yesterday and all buttoned back up. I would like to get it aligned. I marked the bolts before I took it apart, but still.

Thanks guys. Today I called to schedule an alignment and was quoted a 3 week wait. I race in less than 2, so I did it myself tonight. I still wanna throw it on the rack. -.5* lf, -.5-6* RF, about 1/16" toe in, and I assume minimal cross caster as it doesn't pull plus I got the steering wheel straight. Next is the tilt wheel joint in the column once I know what I need and what I'm doing.

Man, that's a hell of a wait to get it on the rack!

Either their setup dude is slow, or they have a lot of business.
