I just installed a set of alba +2 a-arms No instructions, not a clue if it is right. My first time installing a-arms.
Could someone Run me through the steps on an a-arm install. I have it all together but need advice on how to setup the camber and castor. I thought they would tilt in slightly at the top and be slightly towed in at the front. Is this right" It also seems that the bolt on the ball joint doesn't go in far enough and the nut doesn't go on far enough? Do they need to be pressed on?

well for the ball joint nut not tightening up all the way.try pushing the ball joint into the spindle,because it is tapered.u might even want to try taking and pair of pump plyers and have some one hold down on the top of the ball joint and the spindle as u tighrn it up.
camber/////toe adjustment
straighten your handle bars up.then for the camber let the top of the tire go inward just a little bit.do the same with the toe.that should be very close...
