I felt the same way.. my angle finder showed between 6&7 .. the lines are quite close.. I had it checked on a hunter alignment rack and it said 5.4 driver 5.5 pass.. positive.. so I'm more comfortable now when I set things with it. Also take into account the slope, if any, of the ground. I go by this, not the threads. I would think what the other guys said is prob true. Maybe send an email to currie to ask them if they know...

Thanks for the quick reply.

I'm sitting here right now trying to decide on one full turn of the adjustment, or two.

One turn "should" result in caster of about 4.6 (left) and 4.5 (right).

Two turns "should" equate to 5.1 (left) and 5.0 (right).

Normally I would go greater....

But, if I only do one turn, and the numbers equate, I will still be within Jeep spec.

I would prefer not to re-adjust, though, as I am trying to sell the JK.

Thanks again for your help.

Jeff
