      Adjustable strut rod adjustments

      ok, so were haning the front sheetmetal now, and getting ready for the test drive. noticed while hanging the metal that the front tires are located differently in the fender openings. ok.. so that wasnt like that before. matter of fact, the drivers side front tire HIT the front edge of the wheel lip while turning. definately wasnt like that before. so i got to looking, and noticed that the amount of threads sticking out of the front nut on the strut rods was different by like 3/8 on an inch. more on the drivers side. meaning that i didnt adjust them right when i put the front end together. so to finish on the sheetmetal for the evening, i loosened the nuts, allowing the LCA to move back to center. it worked for tonight.
      to make a long story short, how do i adjust these things properly? and in what order do i do things like set the ride height, toe, and strut rods?
      please, help me out. and heres a picture of the design i have.


      oops. forgot to mention the car: 70 plymouth duster. i know its a mopar, but still...
