    Yes drives good but-noticed that the caster washer was backwards when I got home....

    I changed all the control arms bushings cuz I get this vibration on the highway for 60 to 70 mph first I did all 4 shocks then all ball joints and inner and out tie rod end then rack and pinion bushings and I still get vibration tires are all balanced I'm wondering if it's the u joints

    Not sure about the washer situation. Vibes could be from center carrier bearing, ujoints, bent axle shaft, bent wheel. Are your wheels stock hub centric?

    Probably just call pep boys and ask about the washer situation tmr.

    looks like someone was not paying attention or got distracted by a Text from his Mother .

    That should never come off the rack like that .

    Without being brought to your attention .

    Lots of dust and custom dents, Check Build
    Looks like both tabs are bent and cam is upside down. Whoever was doing that had no idea what they were doing. Not unusual for alignment 'techs'. I would check all the other cams on both sides for bent tabs.

    Easiest fix is to bend them back, and run a weld down the back to keep them there, or you can look into Total Chaos cam tab gussets.


    Edit: it will be difficult to align with the bent tabs, and will not hold an alignment as well.
