Re: 2WD C10 Modern/Performance Alignments

Nice caster numbers- I could only get ~3*... Interested to see what tomorrow's alignment brings. Any binding issues with the upper ball joints? This is cool

What were your mods at 3(we need the info)? If you look back my stock alignment I was just barely over three degrees. Look at the pics the swap
picks you can see how the spindle was REALLY tilted back but the swapped arm nicely tilted back so as to make a nice centerline through the bj (draw a line through the zerk fitting and down the spindle). Its the lower I'm worried about. The angle looks ok now but I'm concerned bout cycling. BTW, the lower arm is flat and the centerlink/tirerods are nice and flat so I'm not really concerned with bumpsteer

Having reviewed the pics the zerk fitting/spindle center line isnt as as close as I thought. Note the tire is off and the suspension in dangling. I'll have to look closer at ride height.
