Alignment check it shouldn't throw off your steering geometry but it may have you increased the track width on your truck a total off 3" it probably has something to do with that and now your rear track if you only did the front is 3" narrower my two cents.

When I first installed mine I had both sides set to 140 (instructions stated to manufacturers specs), drove for about 200kms and had no issues. I contacted Lenny to make sure and he said that it was pretty high, so I decreased the torque on the wheel down to 120 and then started to notice a very slight wobble which I stopped noticing after about 50kms. Mine only started at around 125km/hr though.

No worries. How significant is the wobble? Try putting an empty plastic water bottle in the cupholder and take note of how it moves, watch for left to right.

I took mine onto the highway earlier and found it came back between 125 - 135km/h and only on the driver's side (couldn't notice it past 140). What did you do about your lug nuts that you were missing? I pretty well stripped two of them by not getting the socket in all the way .

i ended up getting them from lenny...week and a half later....i used a 19mm deep impact socket seemed to go in all the way..

the wobble isnt that bad...it just wasnt the before the spacers....ill see if they will seat in more and retorqe everything in 500kms
