    Problem is the mounting bracket, not the bushings. There's no grease on the new surface and it has that weird finish.

    Not too bad for doing an "eyeball" alignment on the ground :D Glad it went well. I agree pics! It was kinda dark by the time we finished.

    toe... sorry stupid phone, toe was really hosed up... but the tech was able to bring it into spec

    I think the alignment could be better, but the tech was a little lazy and I didn't want to deal with it

    drives real nice... stiffer than expected (probably due to the bilsteins) but softer than before and with lots of travel, unlike before with the 3" Oh and the giant RCD front cross member acts like a fucking air brake on the hwy. but it ride so great!

    I'll take some good pics when I get the hood painted and my new tires.

    For now, here are some shitty cell phone pics
