Depends on what side of town you are but Joe, kb9qdi runs the Lawrenceburg Tire Discounters and thats the price but he sees a fair amount of off-road vehicles. Plus its a lifetime warranty.

Got a friend and a tape measure? Not that hard to do. Been doing mine for years and never had a problem.

yeah I think i'm going to give that a try and see wherer that gets me

Setting toe is easy. Gotta pay attention to caster as this adjustment can really effect the twitchness and return to center when driving. I like to measure this from the top of the ball joint or hi steer arm with a digital angle finder. Measure both sides to check accuracy and to see if you have a bent/twisted axle. Been there done that

yeah thats the problem I don't know if I can adjust the camber I think you have to replace shims to adjust it and to have that done at at shop runs like $60 per side plus like $60 for the alignment

so for now I'm just going to try and readjust the toe and see where that gets me

would you have time to help me check the camber after I readjust the toe

MrShoeBoy · 03-15-2010, 12:40 AM

Sure I can help you check that. Just pick a day its not wet and raining
