Is there more to consider by shortening both upper and lower control arms than steering rod end length and potential shock mounting changes, does anything else get altered by just moving the whole assembly inboard by an inch or so ?
How are things like "ackerman" angles or bump steer affected. ?
Upper Control Arm - Front, Chop an inch off the Heim joint end of the arms plate the end, shorten the adjuster lock nuts.


Lower Control Arm - Front, Chop the ball joint end and move an inch towards the bushes, leaving all shock positions as is.


any educated thoughts ?
