I'm doing the shelby Quick Steer change to my coupe. I rented the puller, just waiting for the headers to
cool down so I can get my hands in there. Any tricks on changing these out? Do i need a alignment when I'm done?

Billgear,

I think you'll slightly increase your to-out as the center link will move forward slighly relative to the spindles and corresponding tie-rod attachment points. This pulls them inward resulting in a little toe-out.

I would just loosen the turnbuckles and unscrew then a couple turns and test drive. I don't think it's a big deal though.

Watch you clearance between the center link and starter!

You probably already know this. You want to install that stuff with the wheel perfectly straight and centered. Theres a sweet spot in the idler arm right in the middle. It helps return your steering back to center as you come out of a turn. Also, you should carefully observe and mark the orientation of the pitman arm so that your steering is centered when you install the new one. That way you get the same turns lock to lock on each side.

Your steering may feel a little funny at first but you will get used to it pretty quick. I installed that on my car a few years back when my idler arm bushing wore out.
