Hey all,


I've had some trouble with getting my alignment dialed in since I replaced my front suspension and upgraded to fox 2.5 coilovers and the adjustable front core 4x4 uca. Could use some help figuring out what adjustments to make as the local firestone tech isn’t very good, won't touch the uca, and dobbs tried to scam me.

I reached out to Spence from core 4x4 and he told me "I would adjust the front rod end out a few turns that will add some camber back on that side". I would think doing this adjustment would push my camber the wrong way.


I want to minimize how much il tinkering since I've got bad knees and it would take me numerous times of trial and error going back to firestone. I do have their lifetime alignment at least. Thoughts?

PM me. I'll share with you how a front end expert taught me to do alignments back in 1976. Through the decades, I've applied his method and have had ZERO trouble afterwards. I've straightened out people's front ends that have been to multiple shops with no success. I've had arguments with numerous folks who choose to believe conventional wisdom in doing alignments. To quote Ross Perot: "It's Real Simple"!
