    had to change my inner and outer tie rods and need a new alignment. Toyota said they wont touch it unless i can provide specs for them to set it at. I have 285/70r17 Nittos on 17x9 fuel Hostages with 5100s on the top notch. What are the best settings to keep it going nice and straight with best tire wear?

    As high as Caster you can get, 0 Camber, and I always run 0.5 Postive Toe. Most will say 0 but I have always done 0.5 Toe

    Also curious & if there's a difference with Total Chaos UCAs vs Stock...

    I know you can get a wider range with aftermarket, just curious what's "good to have them aligned to"

    What a shitty shop. 9 out of 10 people have no idea what their alignment needs to be set at. Wtf kind of policy is that?

    Sorry ma’am, we can’t replace your head gaskets unless you tell us the proper torque sequence of the head bolts. o_O

    It's probably a dealer balking at a "non-stock" truck. Agree with the settings above
