SPL FUCA on-car adjustments?
 
What will the alignment tech be looking at in order to adjust these?

Will most racks allow access to the 6 Allen key screws?

There isn't room with suspension loaded to reach the double adjustment bolts.
Is it expected or normal to have to raise the front end, make an adjustment, lower the front end, and check the alignment?

Is this how it's done with these arms?

They will be able to reach them from underneath the car, I got my car aligned with the SPL arms at Firestone and the dude had no issues whatsoever.

Go from under the car to loosen the pinch bolts with long extension. Then over the tire to adjust the arms with long extension.

Over the tire won't work on a low car. Still able to reach those from underneath? Or, do they need to raise and lower car to get to those?

How low are you? You have the tire stuffed into the fender?

One finger?

2 ways of reaching the adjustments. Turn the wheel to the side to get to the adjustments, or raise the car up enough to go over the tire. Neither is hard to do. After each adjustment. The tech should go through the process to check his numbers. If not, find someone else.
