Another Alignment Question

I recently installed Toytec's OME kit on my 06 AC. 885's no spacer. Got roughly 2.5-2.75"

I brought it to the shop for an alignment, they told me "Its in spec" like I assumed they would. I held out of UCAs to see how close we could get aligned. Numbers came out as following:

Caster
Left 1.3
Right 1.4

Camber
Left 0.6
Right 0.8

Toe
Left 1/32
Right 0

I think ideally it should be Camber 0 & Caster 2.0+

I didn't specify any settings, because I didn't read any other posts until I left He didn't tell me whether it was maxed out or anything, but said it fell into Toyota's specs. I also noticed in the printout he had my tires as 245/75/16s while I run 265/75/16s though I don't know if that makes a difference.

Question is, is it worth taking back to get the numbers tweaked? It does seem "Touchy" at highway speeds, but drives straight. I don't expect to get my numbers perfect without UCAs, but can they do better?

Is my camber low enough I don't have to worry about tires wearing premature?

 

"Edit to caster" is not a tire wearing angle, but yes, it is low, and will cause the stability issues you are experiencing.

 

"If the camber is out of adjustment, it will cause tire wear on one side of the tire's tread"

from http://www.familycar.com/alignment.htm

If I am not mistaken (Which I could be) its caster causing the "touchy" feeling.

 

Fixed that for you.

 

That's a pretty decent alignment for 3" lift with no UCAs. I'd drive it for a while and see how I liked it.

 

Good to know. So to clarify, at this point, it is my comfort level with the highway driving and not a concern of wearing tires correct?

 

You did, thank you. Thats what you call a brain fart!

 

Yes, it won't handle as well as it would with more uh, uh, caster, yeah, thats it, but it won't cause tire wear. This without the brain farting this time. Sorry about that.

 

Yep.

 

they gave up a little camber for caster....

its your call, live with the stability or get new UCA's and call it a day. I drove mine for a month, it made me insane and i pulled the trigger on the UCA. haven't looked back once.

HIGHLY recommend the SPC UCA's - look around they can be had for 380.

 

My tires wore quite badly with camber at .7. I'm about to buy UCA's.
