Thank you... Yes I've done it before as far as getting the angle correct. UMI has instructions. I can't remember exactly what I did on my TransAm but it wasn't too hard. I have a bunch of different sized spacers that came with the kit. I'll try to document it in the future.
On edit I do remember that you are trying to get the tie rod ends to stay parallel with the lower control arm through its entire length of travel

thanks,i knew it was something like that,the sc&c book kinda danced around that idea but never came out and said it directly.that and i haven't talked to anyone that had actually done it before.
 
Steering pivot needs to match the a-arm pivot. Imaginary line through the inner TRE pivot point to where the outer TRE meets the spindle/steering arm vs. the inner lower a-arm bushing to the BJ where the spindle seats.

Good question. If they are I can swap side to side. Guess I'll have to research where the tread pattern should be.
It'll have an arrow on the sidewall if they're directional- easy peasy (just a pet peeve of mine)
