    question for you chris, will I be able to run the 887's with stock ucas for the short term? Or can the 887's even clear the stock uca's?

    I was gonna just take it to an alignment place and tell them to put the highest castor numbers they can and lowest other measurement, I forgot what it was called but I read somewhere on here what to tell the alignment guys.

    Sounds like either bad o rings on the pistons or some debris got in there. Keep Dex 3 in the truck, but when you get a chance, slide the boots away from the rack and clean the pistons off. Cycle the rack a few times with some clean dex on the pistons and wipe. Then clean up around the o rings and inside the boots. May not stop your leak, but will prevent it from getting worse. You can flush the PS with valvoline max life dex/Merc and that would be better than a stop leak. Or I think there is some sort of valvoline max life trans conditioner that could help too.

    The only thing that wouldn't clear the stock ucas is a larger tire. Alignment numbers should be:
    Toe- 0.0*
    Camber- 0.0*
    Caster- 2.5* to 3*
    caster can be sacrificed to get Camber in spec, Camber and Toe must be in spec, Caster can be fixed later, though if it's out, you'll experience bump steer.

    Hit a bump in the road and it's hard to steer

    Cars and Coffee is this Sunday, 9 April 2017, at the Oasis outdoor parking lot. Entry is $5 (money goes to charity). We are lining up starting at 0700 in the dirt lot. Chad thinks he has enough stickers to give away - let's prove him wrong!

    Our group was recognized by the event staff over all others - even the supercars - so let's show that Tacoma camaraderie again and put all those classics, exotics, ricers, sleepers (and whatever that slammed minivan is) to shame!!

    We hope to see you there!

    I have Camburg's, they're both Uniball UCAs, not much difference despite what some believe tbh..

    Don't huck it you'll be fine. Should get an alignment though.. if you don't want to invest in a lifetime alignment, chalk the dial lookin' things on your LCAs and try to line them up again as best you can after putting the springs on. This, however, is a temporary solution. If UCAs are on the "will happen soon" list then you should be fine imo.
