Truck tracks right after Camburg UCAs and alignment

Hi everyone. This is my first time posting on this forum and I wanted to say hello to all my fellow taco owners. I am constantly finding and learning new information on here and I hope to continue doing so as well as share some of my experiences with my truck.

This post is about my 3rd gen. taco pulling or "tracking" to the right after installing Camburg Tubular Uniball UCAs and getting an alignment. I've been doing my best to read up on camber, toe, caster, etc. to try and better understand what might be happening. I will post the alignment spec sheet down below.



Suspension: 5100s (w/OME 888), Camburg UCAs
Wheel/tire setup: Kenda Klever RT 33x12.5x17, Falcon T2 wheels 17x9 -12 offset
(I have a bmc + pinch weld mod done so I have absolutely ZERO rubbing before and after the alignment)

After driving the truck for a few days and looking over the alignment specs, it is safe to say it is pulling the right pretty noticably and the steering wheel is also ever so slightly turned to the right as well when going straight (I thought it was all in my head). The caster seems to be awfully high from what I've been reading online and also when comparing to others who have the same UCAs. More importantly, the caster on the right side was and still is less than the caster on the left side. I've read that it will pull to the side with the lower caster. I've also read that camber could also be what is the issue and needs to be adjusted to compensate for road crown. Either way, my truck pulls to the right and the alignment shop already attempted to realign it and said they "tweaked a few things" but it feels exactly the same and still pulls to the right on any road, flat or crowned.

Does anyone have any input as well as a shop they recommend in SoCal that specializes in alignments and trucks? Thank you for taking the time to read!!!

 

Your caster cant be that far off from left to right. Less than .5 difference is recommend. That alignment guy is not good.

 

Everything on that alignment is showing it going to track right.

 

Of course it's going to pull to the right, all other things being equal - y'know, no bad tires etc. because it will always pull toward the lower caster side. Normally you'd have the driver's side .3-.5 deg less than the passenger side to account for road crown but your tech has it all reversed. Take it back and have him re-do it, if he can.

 

Okay, that is what I was thinking but not entirely sure. I would think that this should be common knowledge for someone who works at an alignment shop...

Would be there any reason as to why they might not be able to properly adjust things to correct the caster? I have a feeling this shop is going to tell me they aren't able to get it adjusted any better than it is now since this is my third time going back. With my luck, something will be bent or damage in a way that prevent things to be properly aligned (or at least they'll tell me that lol)

 

You would think this would be second nature to them. Keep taking it back 'til they get it right and maybe by then they'll have figured it out. Or cut your losses (and lost time) and find a good alignment shop who can tell you if there's something keeping it from being done right. There's no way for anyone here to know for sure but a good shop will tell you straight off.
