    pretty sure my left front brake is sticking after taking the suspension apart this past weekend.

    When I brake hard, the truck pulls left, and when i come to a complete stop with my foot on the brake and let go of the brakes, there is a loud "clunk" that i can hear and feel coming from my left front wheel.

    What should I check for? I didnt disconnect the brake lines at all when I worked on my truck this past weekend...

    ...too much shit to list.
    I had a very similar problem. I forgot to tighten the bolts on my calipers. :anonymous:
    One of the bolts came completely out and is somewhere on the side of 101. The other was unthreaded about 1/2 way.

    No room =\ i already have brembo, stoptech and STi stickers on it

    I think it is either a crimped line or stuck piston.

    Also gonna make my own alignment apparatus with a wood board, level and lasers...know if i can only find a perfectly flat and level structure and wall in Socal...

    it's just T welded.

    Here is my homemade alignment idea:
    [​IMG]

    Camber:
    as the two horizontal laser hit the wall, draw a straight line down them and measure how many degrees they are off a perfectly perpendicular line from the ground. Adjust so both wheels are slightly camber-in at the exact same degree

    Tow:
    as the two vertical lasers hit the ground, adjust the toe so the two front lasers are slightly closer together than the rear two lasers, giving me a slight toe in.

    Theoretically I can do this with just one laser level.

    Any suggestions?

    that fastrax looks awesome, definitely gonna pick myself up one of those!

    I want to get aligned by this weekend tho since I was messing with the LCAs last weekend, and I dont have time to go somewhere since I get off work late. Plus, my truck has been rejected from a couple tire places cuz they say it wont fit on their rack or something.

    Is my idea good or bad?

    Well I like your way of thinking but I would do the framing square with a mag mount protractor. You can get good ones at Sears. You can get marginal ones at HF lol I don't know if either have steel ones these days but I am sure you could hold it.
