    Is this the sheet to show the alignment guy?

    Doesn't mention camber adjustment very much.

    So basically start with caster on UCA, then caster on LCA so its near 2.5*-3*, then get the camber adjusted to 0* using the LCA and UCA, then toe

    Those upper control arms are worth every penny. Luckily I got a tech who would drive it after he did some work, if he didn't like it, he would tweak it again until he was satisfied. I'm very happy with the results.

    VERY helpful, thanks OP!!

    This is a link to a write-up I did in which I complain abut the same driveability problems. I don't think it got too much attention b/c of how I titled it and where I posted it, but I think it could be relevant and help in this thread. When I was doing my homework, I would have loved to see all this info. in one location.

    Local shop did excellent by me! Discussed the LR UCAs with the mechanic over a couple beers last week! Loved getting into them! I ended up with 0 toe, 0 camber, driver's caster at 2.75, passenger at 3.40!

    Drives "solid"! No wander or "skittishness"!

    I'm pretty happy with these numbers until I get my new frame and LCAs!:D

    I currently have a 6" Stage 2 Pro Comp lift with front coilovers and prorunners in the rear and am buying the LR UCAs soon, think I might need any other parts other than LR UCAs to achieve levels similar to yours? I am currently rubbing it the rear. my plan is to install LR UCAs, increase the height of coilovers a bit before chopping the mount. Any thoughts?

    Yes sir
    Settle down now, no need for the same post twice :D I have no idea about LR UCA's with a 6" lift. I'd imagine you'd want different numbers than what someone with a 3" would want in regards to toe, camber, and caster.

    I have a six inch bds lift with fox coilovers and LR UCAs...increased the front coils an inch beyond recommended to try and stop tire rub...finally did the body mount mod and it was fixed...no big deal..caster 3.4..camber .8 left and .3 right toe .15.....seems to drive fine to me...I'm not sure if those are ideal numbers but I won't mess with it till next alignment

    You can use the LRs to change the position of the wheel in the wheel well! I stayed in the "D" position! "E" would've been preferential for caster, but I rubbed quite a bit!

    E gives you less caster I thought. E = +1° caster and D = +2°

    You're right, however Kenth is rubbing in the rear of his front tire wheel well. If he puts it on "E" and increase caster at the bottom of the spindle, he can increase clearance.

    Yeah I know that, just the way Udy worded it maybe threw me off. Its all good either way. I'll probably set mine to D.

    thanks Udy! :D :bowdown:

    Hey guys, doing a rebuild on some LRs UCAs from Udy.

    Need advice:
    Also, these arms have the old bushings, not the new spec ride ones and there appears to be a metal sleeve inside the tubing, then the bushing is inside the sleeve.

    Do I remove the whole sleeve or just the bushings?
