    How are these specs, are my tires cooked? Les Schwab can’t seem to get me a good alignment with the amount of caster I want. I have JBA UCA’s. Curious is this is unrealistic of me or if I should go someplace else.

    I have used Les Schwab for a Taco alignment in the past and they did a crap job. When we lived in Hunt Beach CA we had a killer alignment shop locally that set a very high standard, haven't found its equivalent in the PNW. Maybe take it to a different Les? Pretty sure they will check and re-do an alignment without hassle.

    That’s the thing, this was there second attempt. First one they didn’t even give me any caster after asking for it. I think I’ll just keep an eye on tire wear and then if it looks funny take it to a different company

    If you are anywhere near Sherwood OR and find a good alignment shop, let me know. At my old house I had a really nice laser string rig and did my own alignments, it pains me to pay for one these days only to get a "toe and go" type alignment. The alignment shop I would use in Hunt Beach would spend a good two hours on it. And they would only do it if you had at least 3/4 a tank of gas, all tire pressures were proper, all the basics. Then they would add weight to the driver seat, set, drive, set, drive, rinse and repeat. 15 years ago they changed $180 for it. A killer deal. Hard to find old school shops like that anymore.

    ETA: Glenn's is the shop. If anyone in socal is looking for a killer alignment shop, it's worth a drive if you are not local.
