:: Turnbuckles - Bag E-EE - Step 5 ! Orient the notch to the left throughout the car. The notch indicates which end has the left hand threads! It is important that the turnbuckle eyelets move freely once snapped on to the ballstud. If the fit is too tight, the car handling will be inconsistent. To check, grab turnbuckle eyelet with fingers and rotate the cup. If there is resistance, lightly squeeze ball cup with needle nose pliers as shown and test again.

:: Tuning Tips FRONT Camber: Camber is one of the most effective adjustments in tuning the car to the track conditions. In most situations only negative camber (where the top of the tire is leaning in) is recommended. The typical setting for camber in the front wheels is -1 degree. Adding more negative camber will give more steering, making the car feel more aggressive. Likewise, adding more positive camber will make the car more stable and be easier to drive.
