J i agree 100% with you his caster is off due to the compression bushing. before repalcing mine i didn't think they could be that bad, until adjusting the front height one day i pushed down on the upper a-arm and saw my bushing was far more than just torn.

all should know that your front specs should not be identical left to right. if they were you would pull hard right(really hard).

1. manufacturers understand we drive on the right side of the road here and therefore design slight pull to the right to keep from hitting oncoming traffic during failure.

2. roads are designed with what is called a "crown" so that the highest point is the center sloping down to the sides for rain drainage naturally guiding the car right.

both of these things are factored into the alignment if your tech is experienced. cross-caster and cross-camber correct these variable to give the customer a straighter feel when letting go of the wheel.

I spotted this in SD, didn't realize who it was until I saw the wheels. I like what you did with the front lip and grill

yep.............ALL of you guys........get a flash light onto your compression rod bushing and move the wheel a bit.........you will all see your bushings are TORN to hell...

look for this at a bare minimum:
REASON FOR REPLACEMENT - TORN!!!
HERE IS THE DAMAGE: TORN COMPRESSION ARM BUSHING, IE BAD CASTER!

HR test pipe installs ownz DE install!

So I can't get the back bolt on the driver side of the 'cat' for nothing! Neither can two exhaust shops. Its completely rusted in there apparently and from trying and trying with regular sockets then stripped nuts sockets....its even MORE stripped. I can't believe it is being this difficult.

*BTW* the other back bolt on the passanger side actually snapped when I was trying to break it loose. Regardless I did not care because the 'cat' still came off.

Any ideas people? The second exhaust shop said he could get it if he dropped the headers......for 350$. F*ck that! I don't care how destroyed the 'cat' gets. Im thinking of maybe prying on the cat to get this bolt to snap also but I don't want to destroy anything else.

Thanks for your input!
