after narrowing the beam 3 inches, and cutting the tie rods. i am having problems setting up the whole steering side of things. i am just wondering if anyone out there would be able to help me set it up, or if there is no one able to help, if i could pay some one with a truck and trailer to take my car to dale's in langley.

thanks
james.

Try this; first center the steering box, then adjust each tie rod so the wheels point straight ahead. If BJ, adjust the eccentrics so the tops of the tires lean in at the top. Check the tie rods again. Make sure the trailing arms are tightened up properly, the large allen set screws being the most important. If these steps don't make the car driveable, you have more problems. Good Luck.
