    Attempt 1 fail - didn't even adjust the caster. Got the toe close to .25 and camber was around 1 and they left caster around 1.5...I told them to try again and get the caster as close to 3 as possible and keep toe and camber as low as possible :fingerscrossed:

    That's at the dealership? I'm surprised they couldn't do it. Firestone and the like normally give shitty alignments first.

    Precision auto...

    I just went back and talked to the guy. He told me everything was "in spec" but the toe was around 2 and the camber was around 1. Caster was still around 1.5. I told him to get the caster to 3 which he said would drop the camber. Good. Then he said he would put the toe at 0.

    3 hours later and they finally agree to do what I asked?:annoyed:

    Ha yeah. I'm not sure what the issue is. I just went back there with him and he let me watch them adjust everything and the numbers wouldn't get anywhere close. Can't get the caster away from -1.5 at all. Toe is at 0 and camber is at least in the green from spec but he said I would need to get a caster kit which would allow for more adjusting if I really wanted that. He said since the adjustments are made at the bottom of the assembly a new UCA probably wouldn't help much

    That proves that he doesn't know a thing about aftermarket parts. He learned one way to do an alignment and that's all he knows. We need someone like @ahspurlock up here. He got my alignment perfect, without changing the LR UCAs, when no other alignment tech here could do it.
