AMT 1966 Buick Riviera - Bowlegged Cure

[fseva]

Recently, I asked if someone had experienced the problem of a bowlegged front end on an AMT 1966 Buick Riviera. Well, armed with the info I received, I bought another kit and just started it yesterday. Needless to say, when I got to assembling the front end, I was very careful... and I found the reason why my first front end turned out bowlegged - it has to do with a printing error in the instructions - parts 23 and 24 should actually be installed reversed - check the size of the pins on each A arm, and you will see that 23 should go where 24 goes, and vice versa! Once this is done, the front end lines up perfectly, without a bowlegged stance!
