Re: Adjusting Camber & Caster

well it appears that your pass side is in a bit to much I would add a couple shims ( same thicknees) to the top of that side (with a fancy level you can read the angle in degrees) Just be sure that your truck is on a flat LEVEL surface before you start.......as far as the alignment since you now have the #'s your adjustmnet will be on that side (PS) just loosen the tie rod adjuster bolts and with a bit of a turn it will go right back to where it's set now!! these guys know as little or less than you do know so why bother them or tie up your truck...


Hint loosen: up the top A arm and then slide a jack under the X memeber with a little lift you will get the space to add the shims then set it down and roll it back and forth a few feet so it will settle back down nicely and check it again...just be sure to tighen everything down and run it!!.....I bet you have longer taking out the tools and putting them away then doing the adjustment...

or if you have a 3 foot pry bar you can just loosen the bolts and pry out the upper A arm shaft and slide in your shims
