Yep, torch and a pipe wrench, oh, you'll need a tape measure also

Its just the height differences of the inner and
outer tie rods and lengths... they have you change
the heights.... once you do a toe curve you can
determine whats needed

Also being that the upper and lower control arms
are different in length and the different mounting
points(for cornering) the arc's are different so
it pulls inwards through the travel... thats why I
like a stutt suspension so much better

Aside from heating and bending.... are there other alternatives?? I know there are bumpsteer kits. Not many for Mopars... There is the Hotchkis kit. It is VERY NICE but also expensive.......
Not that I'm aware of

The book tells you to bend the arms on the lower ball joint..... you can use Rod ends in place of Tie rod ends now. I would like to find a way to make up this set up myself. The threads on the Mopars are 9/16 (Odd ball) so they do not lend themselves to any easy 5/8 Rod end conversion. There are no 5/8 to 9/16 sleeves availible.....

I have the manual, I have a torch with a rosebud.. I have a car I want to correct but I've never gotten comfortable with heating & bending suspension parts..... Should the parts be allowed to cool naturally or quenched? Dull red glow or bright red before bending?
