 thats a good one Greg but he is learning
I was just wondering if it is normal to have to readjust tie rods and alignment and all that jazz just for flipped spindles
I will figure it out, like I said it drives fine but obviously isnt right yet
thanks

Are you talking about camber or toe-in problems? Both can be affected by flipping the spindles.

Damn, I was being serious too.
For what it's worth I always align the front end when I change parts.
In the meantime, double check the shim chart
Then make sure the link pins are set and the pinch bolts are tight.

Did you adjust the toe with the front of the bus raised or on the ground?
It needs to be on the ground to adjust the toe

thanks
