    Naw, you will be okay. I installed mine when it was around 35 degrees. Just make sure you have some WD40 on hand.;)

    Well, I really have you to thank for the discount code and for the help with my UCA's. I think I will end up getting another alignment later, it does have a very very slight wander issue, but driving a full size dodge ram 2500 prior to my tacoma the wander is nothing compared to the dodge. Hopefully I will find a place that will do what you recommended, setting the lower control arms at 0 and using the UCA's to make all the adjustments.

    I dont think you can do this with the TC's.
    There are no misalignment spacers in the UCA upper bolt bushings. Adjustments are done via the LCA misalignment cams. Have them set the alignment to:
    Toe: 0*
    Camber:0*
    Caster 2.4* to 3.1*
    And all will be well in the universe. :D

    well I went with the light racing UCA's Nuebs told me this was the best way to get the alignment in. It really isn't bad at all right now, I think a lot of it has to do with the roads I drive on because once I get on the highway it tracks perfectly, straight as can be!

    I believe so, they are the ones that go straight across, not the ones that droop down.

    I just need to find a good alignment shop, the place I went to is good but they looked at me funny when I asked for a print out of the alignment. I'm sure with a little research I can find somewhere!
