moog 844 alignment
couldn't find anything relevant in my search.did a moog 844 swap and my bjoint nut is just touching the spring-sounds like a common issue.one post said that they used a wrench on the nut because of clearance.is it better to uninstall the spring(or loosen it) when installing the adj alignment sleeves???and also the main concern is that when the it's adjusted to get rid of + camber(maybe 1.5-2* + now ) won't the nut be even closer into the spring???any tips appreciated.
thanks in advance,
andy

When I put mine back together I just tried to line up the adj as close to the original position as I could. The shop I went to that put my truck on the machine did the rest. As far as ball joint nut clearance... There was plenty for me to wrench on, but I did have to use an impact on my bottom ones.
I have had some folks tell me to get a plumbers wrench on the camber adj and heave like there's no tomorrow, but I dont know how much truth there is in that.

The nut will get further from the spring when you go neg with the camber, Do you know exactly what the camber is now or are you just guessing? Normally the mech doing the al;ignment deals with this

definately camber is (+) and also stuck a cheap angle gage on hub for a ballpark guess.just was hoping that the nut wasn't going to go inward more.still gotta learn more on ttb set up .my dealings with alignment are on simple stuff like my stang.
