A couple of things........I made it to the alignment shop today.....LOL.....I actually didn't blow up any transmission lines.......I guess when you use the right product for the application .......It works......LOL.....anyhow....The front end is now aligned and set up........I also sent out my stock am radio and had it converted to am/fm stereo /satellite Sirius ready.......got everything in and hooked up with Radio Margaritaville ..............great cruising station...........I also ordered an exhaust kit with all mandrel bends and Dynomax #17749 mufflers.....2 1/2" system.........should be here in a couple of days......Good weekend project......The other thing I'm not too crazy about is the brake system.........It was recommended to go with a 7/8" bore master non power system..........well......I'm not very impressed with the stopping power and may be switching to a Power system in the near future.........anyhow......here are some pic's....Time to call Stefano at Nickey and get the old Beater over there and wake it up......LOL

Castor we wanted + 3-5 degrees but we couldn't get that much.........Camber -.5 degrees per side and 1/8&quot; toe........

[Plowman]

So caster was less than +3deg each side.

You should try some other upper arms then. The &quot;built-in&quot; caster in aftermarket upper A-arms differ between the makers.

On my Camaro I have 8° Caster, a little more than ideal but we couldn't get less due to my Guldstrand mod and the SpeedTech A-arms. It drives really good with it, steady as on rails, but when turning the tires are really close to the inner fenders but they don't hit.

Some A-arms have as much as 5° built in Caster-increase.
