    They keep insisting that they can't fix the rear? I'm confused now and want to launch my truck off a hill [​IMG]

    Too few to list.
    Low caster causes bump steer. Tell them to max out your caster while keeping camber at zero. Looking at your pre-alignment numbers, they should be able to at least hit 2.0.

    Sorry Dan, I'm tied up this weekend. No need to pay me. Try B&D alignment in Bellflower. Owner Jerry Butcher posted on here before.

    Yes it is, and thanks. I hope you get it straightened out, I originally had alignment problems and it was soo damned frustrating. Solved my alignment problems by installing a set of Light Racing UCA's.

    my truck started pulling to right after wheeling too, I had an alignment last week and had them set the caster at 3 and it still pulls to the right after...

    so looking over my 3 alignment print outs since mounting these tires, I think camber makes a bigger impact then expected. as of now, my camber on the right side is (and has been since wheeling) higher, however it is still within oem spec.

    I'm thinking about getting camber on both sides to 0 and that should fix the wandering.

    You are correct, sir. As a matter of fact, road crown is often compensated for by adding a positive camber to the driver side (or negative to the passenger side). They usually adjust both camber and caster for this.

    Maybe something got bent. Was it in a wreck like T-boned or rear ended? But who knows, get the truck into the hands of somebody who knows what they are doing and it may not be an issue. Those Big-O guys may not have had the truck on the rack properly.

    as in switching the left to the right and right to the left? no I haven't. What would that conclude?
