I wouldnt go a couple weeks, mabey a few days then get a lifetime alignment from somewhere like pep boys or firestone. you will be using it alot. As for the wheel being off, not a big deal. they will get it straight after allignment. If you get the lifetime bring it in after a couple days with these specs.

print this and bring it with you.

When you get the alignment done the caster will more than likelly not go back to within specsUnless you installed aftermarket upper control arms. What you want to do is get camber as close to center as possible and have the right front caster be .40-.50* greater than the left side this will insure that the vehicle tracks straight and will have no tire wear issues as long as tires are rotated properlly.


Then about a couple weeks later bring it in again when the springs are really better settled and get it re alligned.

Will an alignment tech know what the f you typed, because I don't understand it.
