    Hey guys, quick question:

    I just put on the full ome 885 and Dakar set, I know that to get the exact caster I need aftermarket UCAs, which I did not install. Took it into the alignment shop today and they printed me off this and said everything is ok.
    I asked them why there is no number next to the caster and they said they cannot align or measure it? Is that true? there is no measurement?

    I thought there was a slight adjustment they could make? Sorry, I've ready to many posts the past few days and my brain is sizzled.

    Yes, they can adjust your caster, definitely take it back and see what excuse they give you.

    Called the alignment shop and they said they didn't check it because there is no factory setting to try and compare it to? They said if I give them numbers to match for the caster they will try and accomplish them ? Anyone know these "numbers"

    They didn't have the spec sheet for a 2015 yet so that's why they didn't do anything to the caster.... That looks better I hope

    I can only think of one thing....

    "we dont have enough data to do a proper alignment...lets not tell the customer that and charge them full price anyway"

    that bothers me.
