    I either need a better firestone or need more adjustment on the icons.

    What do you guys think is fair asking for
    these?

    They’re rated for 70k miles and they have about 25k on them

    Yeah so basically they have my tires angled out at the top. Hmmm

    @BamaTaco56 and anyone else in Bham what Firestone do you guys use. I’ve got the lifetime alignment so hoping to get some opinions on places.

    That's camber the other measurements look pretty decent. Caster you won't be able to see at all looking at the tire.

    I use the firestone on 31 right by your house, I’ll get the name of the guy I used. He put my alignment exactly where I wanted it.

    +3.5* castor
    0 camber
    0 toe

    That would be awesome.

    That’s where I went this morning, but I’ll request that guy if you get his name.

    I’ve still got to order an extension apparently for my rear air line if I hope to even attempt to go to hawks pride

    the thing is my castor should be higher. Yesterday I pulled my rear heim joint in all the way on the icons. Meaning I pulled the top of the spindle back towards firewall. The front heim joint I have out about 2 rotations farther than the back. Idk confusing stuff.

    Thats why i like fixed uca's with built in high castor. To much to fight with and worry about on the adjustables. Im not sure how yours work so im not gunna try and guess what you should do. But you def need way more castor than that.

    If you know how to adjust the bottom cams (which I don’t) it’s basically the exact opposite.

    I just did some research and reading from others in the Long Travel thread where heims are more common to determine it needs to be adjusted out at front and in at back.

    I do, but its a happy medium between castor and camber with the lowers. So im sure its the same with the uppers. Can the adjuster be reached with the wheels on? If so you need to find a place that will let you be out there to talk the alignment tech through how they work. Then he can use both upper and lower.

    It would be tight but yes. Though it works best if the tires off ground where you get some flex to reach in there.

    They can still align with the tires off the ground. Most good alingment systems can align with the front lifted off the rack. But the tires can not be taken off, rotated, or turned during this process.
