| Post subject: | Alignment Question |
Ok so after installing my JBA Arms i had an alignment done and the shop was beating around the bush because of the lift. I told them to just put it to Factory Specs. They did the alignment and the Left Front Camber was -0.90 Degrees and after was -0.50. The Right Front was +1.30 Degress and after was +0.30. For both Cambers the tech noted "End Of Adjustment". The Toe they manage to get back to 0 Degrees on both sides. Do these sound close enough or are they off by too much. |

You would have to know the factory specs to know for sure. If I was to guess, it MAY drift right. If they couldn't adjust it any more, it is what it is. |

I was reading up elsewhere that the factory alignment numbers might not be 0 for all. Like say the Camber should be +5 degrees etc. Anyone know the KK Alignment Numbers? |

There is a range for alignment specs since not all KK's(or any vehicle) is 100% the same.Your caster and camber are both controlled by the 2 cam bolts that hold the LCA on,it's a delicate balance between the 2 to get camber/caster into spec and your not going to get dead center in both camber and caster when both are changed by the same 2 bolts(less then 5% chance of getting both center spec).Now you want the camber to be more in spec then caster since caster will not wear your tires.Caster will however cause a pull though if the cross caster is to far off.Toe is always set after camber/caster is set and toe can be perfectly set since it is independently adjusted from any other adjustment and L/R sides(for IFS vehicles,not so on SFA vehicles).The rear is not adjustable on a KK,if out of spec something is bent and depending on the rear specs a pull can be present and caused by the rear axle. |
