TIA! Do this. Then put the car on the ground. Bounce it, roll it back and forth, get it at desired ride height. Don't tighten the UCA or LCA bolts until sitting on ground near ride height. Then get a carpenter big L square. Using the rear cam adjuster make the rim a little tipped in at the top about 1/8-3/16". Then take to alignment shop. Or align with your alignment tools. In picture below right picture is front cam. The front of car is this way ------> 8353424-UcaCamAdj.JPG (49 downloads) Last edited by autoxcuda; 12/06/14 07:38 PM.
