      g-link bracket angle

      At what angle have you welded the lower brackets onto the rear end at? I know they give you directions on how to figure it out, but someone has done this I'm sure (Frank). I figured it is somewhere around 1 to 2 degrees down from level any suggestions comments on what you ended up with. This for a 67 camaro.

      thanks,
      -Tom

      You cannot do it by angle. You have to mock it in place, at ride height, square it, X it, center in the wheel wells, set pinion angle, and then tack weld it in place

      How do they determine the position of the brackets of the rear ends shipped directly from Alston? Just curious?

      thanks

      GM spec is around 3-4 degrees on most cars. I'm sure they set it up in that range and give you enough adjustment on both sides. Mine was a moser g bar ready and it's worked out just fine.

      Yeah, there is no way your going to do this on the bench. I want the bracket verical (zero) when the rear is where it needs to be. CA installed one this way, pulled it, built a jig and now they are all perfect.

      Did you get the upper bracket jig fixture? That gets you half way there. There is no lower fixture available.
