Re: 1933 radius rod bolt alignment
Rockfla,
Thanks. That’s a generous offer. No need for you to go to all that trouble. I think I can just pick one up here at Ace hardware tomorrow.

I jacked the car up and put ramps on each wheel facing opposite directions and rocked the car up and down. Rod didn’t move.
