    Hey guys, got an alignment last week and it started to pull hard to the right. Noticed that the passenger wheel is about a 1/2” further back in the wheel well than the drivers side. They got cast to about 3.5 on each side. They swear it’s straight but that seems odd to me. I’ve been arguing with them for a few days and they have tried to fix it but can’t get it to stop pulling. It didn’t pull hard to the right before they touched it. Is there any known problems with the wheel wells being off or is their alignment machine off. I have 17x9 wheels with 4.75 backspacing -6 offset. Bilstein 6112 at top setting with about 2 1/4” lift with Jba ucas. Just looking for ideas on how to fix the issue. Thanks

    You may include specifics on your lift and mods, so the gurus can help. The wheels having different well spacing sounds like more than an alignment issue, but those that know more than I will be along shortly.

    Build thread coming soon.
    Take in the spec sheet for the JBA uppers. They need to know that so they can adjust their machine spec for what you jba's are doing for you. Then they should get it right.

    I gave them the spec sheet. But it is possible I didn’t give them the right thing, going through my paperwork from JBA I just found something else. Ok, I’m an idiot I think and I will let you guys know.
