Absolutely and your going to come up and help me

Erick

here ya go

Before

LF Camber -0.6 RF Camber -0.5

LF Caster 6.4 RF Caster 6.4 Loose caster bolt found here!!!! This was my problem!

LF Toe 0.02 LR Toe -0.06

Total Toe -0.04
Steer Ahead 0.04

LR -1.7 Camber RR -1.9 Camber

LR 0.22 Toe RR 0.22 Toe

Total Toe 0.43

Thrust Angle 0.0


Now

LF Camber -0.4 RF Camber -0.5

LF Caster 5.8 RF Caster 6.0 Bolt tightened

LF Toe 0.03 RF Toe 0.00

0.02 Total Toe
0.02 Steer Ahead

LR -1.4 Camber RR -1.5 Camber

LR 0.19 Toe RR 0.22 Toe

0.41 Total Toe
-0.01 Thrust Angle

Previous car had a twitch in certain situations, attributed to loose caster bolt! Dont know how that happened but good to go now.

Now car tracks true and alignment guy said he did try to compensate slightly for the 10" avg crown in Maine roads. Thats the slight diff we see from L to R specs.

Rear camber is back in spec it was slightly out. RR was worse previous wear tire on the car it also had more neg camber.



Extended thoughts will come when i get it out there in the future. The rub is gone and car feels a lot different.

Oh and last observation car has no extra clearance under lip or aft center of drivers door to get on the rack. Any lowering and it wont go on. Its right there touching now.

Your thoughts?
