Subject: 4x4 Alignment Problem
IP: Logged

Message:
Aaaggh! Had my 4x4 1991 v6 stick in for alignment today and he screwed it up! Drove absolutely GREAT going in except for some wheel play. After alignment it now doesn't know where the middle of the road is and doesn't want to return after even a small steering adjustment.

He loosened up the steering box a bit, which helped a tiny bit, but that made the wheel play worse. Aaaggh!

We checked the Hunter printout and he had reduced the caster from 1/2 degree over spec (where it steered GREAT), back to the top edge of spec, where it doesn't. No good! Tomorrow he is going to put the caster back out of spec so I hope that solves the problem.

Any wise advice for me to take along???

Added 1/2+ degree to both caster to take it well over spec and now it steers pretty good. So much for the specs.
