When you get the alignment done the caster will more than likelly not go back to within specs. 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.

Looks to me like something you would read from Space shuttle manual. Wouldnt you think the dealer who service my FJ has this info?

Thanks for taking the time to post though....I usually print out those info and leave in the glove box...

Any alignment shop can do this all they have to do is enter the specs manually the fj will not be on any programs yet. These are the steps to ahunter machine 90% of shops use hunter

Is this due to Road CrossSlope or something to do with the drivers side siting 1/2" lower than the paserger side... or something I am not thinking of...

Thanks...

I would like to sticky this...but something tells me it should go in the wheel section??? am I wrong???

Here's my before and after:



After lifting but before the new tires and alignment, it felt fine.
After new tires, it was 'floaty' on the freeway.
After alignment, it was back to fine.

For Camber, that is all the could get with the lift...

I was wondering why my FJ was tilted to the left!!!!

Hey Bill, what did they charge you? I've got to get mine in somewhere tomorrow.

$50 or $60... Can't remember exactly. I probably could have got it for less somewhere else, but they are right down the street from work...

I Believe they all do tilt slightly to the left (driver side)... I believe due to the gas tank, transfer case front shaft output, front rear diff, Driver Componets (steering system, peddles, brake system) and some other items along the frame rail too... It all adds up !!!

I Set my own front when I did the lift, but I do not have a completly flat area to get it exact, So I will be going to a local shop I have dealt' with in the past with my big trucks... They let me in the shop and I can instruct the Alignment guy on what I am looking for, and no more... I only need the drivers side front adjusted to add a tad more positive camber... She drive straight, you can let go of the wheel and it does not drift, but I am noticing a little more wear towards the outer edge of the drivers front tire, all the other tires are wearing in the middle where I want it, so I just need to get this side at the same camber as the passenger side and I will be set...
