Actually you don't have to, just measure the length to the center of the ball joint from a reference point on the arm, if you keep that the same the setting is unchanged:

With the spherical bearings 3 per side with these arms are they quiet. I would expect a little noise. I have only heard good things about spl stuff, but I live in nj and the roads are sh*t.

The street spec ball joint is not a strong (rated at 15,000lb vs. 20,000lb) and has less articulation angle, as compared to the race spec ball joint. That is why we continue to offer the larger ball joint for the racers, however the street-spec ball joint is still plenty strong (at 15,000lb rating) for any use.

All responses we had indicate the arms are perfectly quiet in use...
