Thanks a lot man. I'll see about getting it to a shop tomorrow before work! I thought it was veeer strange how all the bolts were mismatched. No uniformity what so ever.That makes more sense, and sheds some light on the situation!
You have one end of the UCA with nearly complete negative camber setting, and the other end with nearly complete positive camber setting. Your UCA is literally twisterd/angle within the mounts. Think about it like holding a bar that's attached to a wall in front of you , and without letting go, try to shift your shoulders so 1 side is forward, and the other backward - you can't, unless you move your body. Well your UCA mounts can't shift (they are your shoulders) so the only thing that can is the bar (which is your tire) and when the bar moves, your TOE gets effected (sorry, really bad example, but it works).
2 things from this:
1st. The alignment shop should set those neutral, and then adjust the camber bolt on both ends equally. This would solve your camber issue (I don't think its that alone, tho - see 2)
2nd. This is effecting your toe setting, which would explain the faster wear on the tire. Toe should be set with the tie rod ends, after camber has been set. If you're camber is off, and its effecting your toe, and then they are trying to adjust your toe via the tie rod ends, they won't ever get it right.
100% go to a different shop - the shop you are at is lazy, and don't want to spend the time adjusting everything to get it right.
They don't do alignments, but I'm gonna take it to the shop they send their work to.Jeez, Swamp. What a mess. Is there a good 4x4 shop near you? Google showed me a place called Truckin' Up in Mobile.
Thanks for the correction, Rich. Was thinking toe but caster is correct. It does effect toe a bit to, right?Yeah there's plenty of room to bring your camber down on both sides. Adjusting both cam bolts the same direction adjusts camber by pushing the control arm in or out. Adjusting them in opposite directions adjusts caster.
Any word on the fix for this ?
