For the inner measurement, I think I used two bits of wood that I could slide past each other; kind of like a lower part of an "L" and the vertical part of an "L" used with the horizontal part on the top. I then would slide up the part with the horizontal leg against the vertical part until the top edge of the horizontal part touched the underside of the steering knuckle. I then either marked the pieces of wood with a pencil or added a clamp that would allow me to take the measurement.
You could also make a "go-no-go" gauge by cutting out a piece of plywood in the shape of an "L" that you invert and use to check the height. The height from the bottom to the top of the "L" would be the height you want. If everything was square, then you should be fine.
This later solution is what I should of done but I instead winged with some scrap pieces of wood I had around.
Well I tried with the measuring tape several times. One of my bars was sagging and the other had the adjustment screw all the way almost out and the CV Joint wasn't parallel to the ground so I took both out and replaced the sagging ZR2 bar with another one from the junkyard. I also re -situated the one that wasn't sitting right and now both look parallel to the ground.
I'm suppose to be measuring from this lower edge right? does it matter what direction from the edge? Then subtract the two right?
