    What usually happens is you back up, pinch the mudflap and rip it off. No folding involved :)

    NICE!!! Dude that thing will last you forever.
    My craftsmen compressor is over 15 years old (looks about the same size) and still works as good as the day my PARENTS bought it as a backup for the one in their auto shop. They had a 60 gallon that took a shit, so they picked up the lil 25 and plugged it in to their air system and had it pump up the 60 gallon tank too. Never a problem. All I do is plug it in to the wall and occasionally drain it.

    So I got my alignment done and camber is 0.0 0.2 caster is 3.1 4.9 toe is .08 .06

    I'm back and bitching about getting the caster close to 2.4, hopefully they can do something because this is b.s.

    Honestly you'll be happier with caster at 3 or higher. I wouldn't bitch about getting the castor down to 2.4, I'd be bitching because left and right castor off by so much. Trust me, you'll be much happier driving that truck with castor on the high side than the low side.

    Also I'm not sure how you drive, but if my camber was at 0, I'd wear out the outside of my tires well before the inside. Have them push the camber on the off side out to .2 and the castor will most likely get closer.

    Also, there's no excuse for toe not matching. Take it back.

    Guys at the shop I took it to are idiots, I went back and they said caster isn't adjustable because of my aftermarket uca, Wtf, so he said if I can show that I can get the caster fixed he will give me half my money back and I told him I would like all of it back since I'm going to pay again to fix there mistake but they told me that's a no since they changed my toe and camber and they think I can have the caster changed without having a whole alignment done

    My biggest problem with how it drives is the steering wheel is off center and wen I turn the wheel does not go back I have to push it back

    Castor on our truck is adjusted with the camber tabs on the LCA. As you rotate the camber plates, not only does it adjust camber, but it will push/pull the LCA forward/backward and as such adjust castor. The TC UCA's are not adjustable (unless you got heim UCA's), just like the FACTORY ones. They do pull the pivot farther towards the rear of the truck and allow for more castor than factory UCA's.
    Personally, I would take it back and be an asshole and show them the factory UCA's and that they are not adjustable either. Just because they don't want to spend the time on it doesn't mean they are right.
    The driving problems you are having right now are because of the differences in the alignment numbers between driver's and passenger's side.

    Here's my paper, so this is the second alignment they did on it because they messed uo the first time, I went to firestone and they are going to fix it tomorrow morning and I'm going to take the new results over to the last guy and see wat happens from there

    I tried explaining to them that the originals are not adjustable either and I showed them that u adjust them using the adjuster on the lca but they didn't want to listen, they were trying to say that a part is bent on the suspension and I told them it is all brand new only a day old

    Honestly it's not terrible at all, they just need to get the driver and passenger side closer in camber/caster and you'll be happy. I personally like the castor out of spec on the high side. Makes it track better offroad much better.
    I also like my toe dead nuts 0 (or close to it), but that's not necessarily a good thing for a DD. Makes it a lil squirly.

    In the end I gave up on shop alignments for my tacoma. Now I do them in my driveway with chalk and a tape measure. It actually takes less time and I can only be mad at myself if it's not right.

    Thanks jberry for all the info and I'm def going to show them the info on how to adjust the caster I'm not taking it back to them though because I've had enough of there b.s. and they probably still won't be able to get it right

    But so basically my wheel is off centered going straight and also it doesn't go back after I turn because the toe isn't equal?

    It's a combination of ALL the alignment measurements. I'm looking at your sheet and it's like two different people did the alignment, one retard did the driver side, and one retard did the passenger side and neither of the retards discussed their retardation with each other.

    :eek:
    Just trying to help the locals out. I have to live vicariously through everyone else while my truck is on jack stands.
