    You have me very interested in that Taily. What do you think was done? Reason I ask is I fitted full reco HJ top and bottom control arms to my HZ. It steers like an absolute pig. Way two much camber!! The wheel align shop said it can't get it out and I have to machine meat off the top arm that usually has all the shims behind it. But I've never had to do any thing like that before and can't help but think it's because of the HJ arms. Cheers.

    I've seen HJ upper arms swapped from left to right sides (got me knackered how - they have LH and RH stamped on them) and the old school bloke who did the alignment showed me the figures afterwards. Nice neutral steering and hasn't scrubbed a tyre out like it used to. My guess it was more to do with gaining caster.
