Re: FJ Alignment Specs

I am looking for some help with a continuing problem with right-hand pull. I posted the latest information in my original thread on this. Please let me know what you think. Thanks!

Update: I called Hunter (the guys that make the alignment machines) and they confirmed everything said on this thread about caster: for rear-wheel drive cars, shoot for the right caster being 0.5 higher than the left side and take anything between 0.3 and 0.7 (to compensate for road crown) -- just like the OP of this thread stated. Of course, both sides still have to be within spec when you do this. Too bad I couldn't get the dealer to listen to me.

One of the posts in this thread says the caster is not adjustable, but I found another thread that has some really excellent explanations of the way the FJ alignment works and adjusts. Look for the posts by user 'jasonrmorrow' in this thread.
