    Most guys who modify knuckles spend a while figuring out the perfect angles and settings, that's why there's no DIY guide. Also unless you've got a fair bit of welding experience i wouldn't even attempt it. Pay the person that knows

    I think its the kind of thing people dont want to be giving measurements and calculations away to random people over the net.

    As said, If you cant figure out what you need to do, youre most probably not the right person to do it...

    Go buy some techno toy steering arms and it will be fine.

    What are you trying to achieve with the car?
    What car is it?
    What mods so far?

    Piss poor tech Q thread, we're here to help but makes it hard when there's no info given before the question.

    If your problem really is that you spun alot first time out on track then I'd recommend more practice before modified steering arms.

    Everyone spins lots to begin with. Learn your car and learn the basics before going and throwing a truck load of parts at the "problem".
