    Yes - the truck's aren't that heavy.

    I don't want to wear out the centers of my tires.

    I have not done the CMC, and very rarely rub.

    So I got word back from my mechanic regarding my Subaru.

    It's not great news.

    Apparently the valve in cylinder 4 is "sticking" or what I'm seeing online people are saying the valve is "dropped."

    Does anybody have any sort of knowledge on this subject?

    Why 3.7 caster @stronghammer

    I'm at 3.0 with my bottoms max. If I need more I'll have to adjust my heims then go back in. I didn't expect them to mess with the heim joints there. So 3.0 with them all the way collapsed isn't bad. One turn would probably be more than enough.

    Anyone have issues with the idiot light indicating low (or high) inflated tires with your tire pressures?

    well 3.7 is what they put me at today, usually it's 4.0 or more. it keeps me away from the back of the wheel well.

    Valve drop, at least on dirt bike is when it sticks open, loses compression and may make contact with piston. Either way probably better off dumping car. When it happens on dirt bikes we pull head and get it redone. I see tearing head off of a car to be a pain.

    yeah my mechanic said the only solution he knows is have the head reworked, but that some of his research has shown some "subaru gurus" giving other solutions...not sure what I want to do.

    You are not having issues die to your tire size. When you go up in tire size, you will probably want to adjust to add more caster.

    I meant at the 4+ caster. I also believe your front bumper is slightly different than the earlier 2nd gens.
