    huh, that's odd. the part numbers match and everything. they probbaly mean the same thing. i'd bet that somewhere in your instructions it probably says that there are 2* of caster built into the arms, whereas in OZ's, it probably doesn't. just a gues

    haha




    if i've read correctly they have +2* built in, meaning relative to stock, you can go from 0* to 4*. but that's without a lift.

    i think you both probably have correct instructions, but they were rewritten (reworded and a new diagram), maybe to do away with this very confusion we're having right now

    The diagram on mine shows 0 to 4 degrees of motion with 2 being the ' neutral' setting , so essentially it would be the same range of motion , no?

    is the ball joint position set at -2, or is the alignment number on your printout -2? because with two degrees of caster built in, those are two different things.

    that's the impression i was under. at the zero setting, you are getting 2* of caster over stock.

    thats total adjustment........
    look at your numbers in the small print thats the adjustment on the ball joint itself....
    those are the correct #'s

    then i'm confused.

    at 2.5 inches of lift, stock UCAs, my caster was at .6 then with the LR arms set at zero (spc logo facing out), alignment was at 2.6

    Hey don't get pouty , nobody said you were wrong . And it does seem odd that are two sets of specs for the same product . When did you buy yours ?
