and a caster kit, so I should be OK for now
Ewwww, you let them install Cams...


Here is a great DIY alignment write-up:

Not too hard, but as the others said, you could make the dealership do it right if you want to waste more time back there.

Very true. Not sure I want the same guy working on it again though. Years ago I did everything on my vehicles because I didn't trust anyone. I'm getting to that point again!

Yeah, I didn't realized the kit came with cams. I would have done things differently had I known, but the cams will be eliminated soon.

Thanks for the link bud.

I adjusted my track bar today before I mounted my new M.O.R.E. front bumper, and it worked out great. I had just enough adjustment to center the axle. I ended up with the track bar at it's shortest length.

Thanks for the info, and for encouraging me to do it myself.
