bump where is the lunch crowd?????oh yea your all west coast "crap"...........
i gotta get this resolved today.........."

 

yea he said this is all he can do.....he did not rotate the ball joints from how i put them in spc facing out... all he did was slide the driver side in about a half inch???
any thoughts??????

 

do you guys think if i flip the adjustmen to the - 2.0 setting which is with the ball joint up towards front of vechile..... am i correct

 

ok screw this does anyone know of a place around here............ long island ,new york that would be capible of doing this alingment???????????

 

So what is the complaint? It's within spec right?

 

I doubt this will help, but here's what mine look like. Everything on my alignment is within spec. 0 toe 0 camber 2.1 caster.

 

did u see the #'s

 

im just about ready to take all this crap off this p.o.s. truck and sell everything
its not even close to worth the aggravation....
keep looking back there might be some 5100's and l.r. uca's for sale real soon....along with an 2" aal
f this

 

Damn wish I could help you bro! I bought the tc arms because I didn't think the hillbilly's around here would be able to adjust those arms!

 

yea you aint kidding i put them in in an hour and 45 mins now i have to find someone to fix it or tell me how to set all the cam adjusters to zero and what to set the uca's to and then bring it back to firestone......
im a plumber and i know how to rotate them and these a holes work in an alignment shop and have no cluee......
gotta love america and now u know why its going diown the drain
f this ill burn this p.o.s.

 

I think this is wrong bud...That rounded edge is suppose to pointing at the truck...

 

x2

Thats what mine is

 

this is it how i installed them yesterday???

 

Thanks for the pics guys...fixin to do these this weekend & I woulda had them a notch too far towards the rear of the wheel well from the looks of the pics. I'm gonna do mine the same way as y'alls. I will concur that in all of the adjustment setting pics on the install sheet, the round edge always points in and the stud of the ball joint is what moves forward or backward to regain or lose more of the caster setting depending on which way they are rotated.

 

It helped me ...............thanks

 

Yep, Numbers look good. Caster is high but that is fine. Both Camber settings are a little positive but are both within spec.

 

If you are unable to adjust the caster any further, you need to set the UCA's to -2.0. However, I went with 285/75/r16 tires and I have the toytec 3" lift and have mine set at zero (SPC logo sticking out and the rounded part pointing at the truck). I would say that your alignment shop is the one that is having the issue. Our trucks have one adjustment for camber and caster if I remember right. When you adjust one, it will affect the other so they have to settle for as close as they can get. How ever, the LR UCA's can adjust for camber. so they can crank on the factory adjustment to get the caster where you want it and make up for the camber being off by loosening the nut on the ball joint of the UCA and adjusting it there. I went through this same thing when I got mine aligned. Let me know if there is anything else I can help you out with on this.
