    The alignment shop will fine tune that. I set mine in the middle but it really depends on how much lift you have.

    When you replace wheel bearings does the stock black cap not go on because mine won't the shaft seems to be hitting the cap not allowing it to set in place

    I finished up one whole side, and I set my spc uca to setting "d" and all the way in but the tire looks like it's riding extremely on the outside edge of the tire. Will the caster change the way the wheel sit on the ground .

    Have you driven it? If not take it around the block to let the suspension settle. Caster will not change that...you'll need to adjust the camber to correct it.

    No I haven't driven it because I need to finish the other side and I'm sure that when I get it alingned they will take care of the camber
