Re: I Found the Magic Button!
Steering force away from center is not hard at all but it does have a new Red Head quick ratio box that makes it a little stiffer. Not stiff but not pinky steer as it was before. I cant change the box for as the paperwork clearly says it is adjusted perfectly and it will void my warranty.

The first shop wouldn't/didn't give me numbers. The only thing I see is 1 1/8" shim on the pass side and a 1/16" shim on the driver side. |

Re: I Found the Magic Button!
it ,kills me when someone comes in and hands me a sheet for the factory specs on an old ride. biasply then and radial now. 3 degrees positve was alot with biasply, these trucks with radials want at least 4 to 4.5 pos. setting camber and caster is no big time deal. all aligners the last 10 years use live caster readings and can compensate for elevated readings. i always rerun caster swing after adjusting, just a double check. rear shims effect caster more, front shims effect camber more, keeping less than a 1 degree split, more caster on right.any change in ride hieght changes all. there are so many measurements that effect how it drives, SAI, setback, thrustangle, along with camber, caster and toe.even a 20 thousand dollar Hunter aligner ends with a wrench and a brain. sorry for the rant, but after 30 years of frontend work i hear to many techs say set the toe and let it go. they should be sweeping floors.

Re: I Found the Magic Button!
The only shims are in the front.....none in the rear at all. I have an appt on Wednesday and we shall see. The good thing is the guy said it may take him a couple hours to get it done. I like the fact he's willing to take the time to do it right and give me the dang print out!
