before you mount it height wise make sure the stearing arms are parrellel to the lower arms so it dont bump stear
If Its Got Gas Or Ass Count Me In.if it cant be fixed with a hammer you have an electrical problem

yes and no ...

no in that for a drag car doing only straight line racing it shouldn't be too much of an issue....

that said i am copying directly from one that was setup in an FB Ute and it is as good as it gets for old holdens bump steer wise, so provided i locate it in the right position it should be the same....
