    just remember, a good shop should be doing a complete inspection of your suspension components. As for the SPCs, they should be in the factory position "D" which is + 2 degrees of additional caster. This is where you want it to be. The alignment tech should be adjusting with the LCA alignment cams.

    Print out the install sheet and offer it as reference just in case. Even being a 'good indie enthusiast shop' doesn't mean that they always know.

    Good luck :thumbsup:

    You missed out on Fluid Film 4 months ago when I suggested it to help soften your undercoating for easyIMG_20191008_145233266.jpg removal. Now you're spaying it on bare steel and going to the carwash twice?

    Thanks, Caster is the word I was looking for. They’re currently set at position D so that shouldn’t be an issue.

    Stock again- rip slug
    5100's fit rear suspension on 5 lug? I read that it fits but obviously not the front when stock, wanted to verify. (shock length too long at front when stock) Just saw someone local to me threw a pair of rears with 40k on em for $50 and i'm thinking about nabbing (but will try to get price 10-20 bucks less lol)

    Alignment shop shouldn't need to mess with the SPCs then. If you need more caster should try and it get it out of the lowers before resorting to messing with the SPCs. I have 3˚ caster with the SPCs still in the normal setting
