Over the last year or so, I've upgraded my suspension (1.5" Lift), new C Bushings (7°), converted steering from Y to T, and probably a few things I'm forgetting. I bought the lifetime alignment from Firestone a few years ago and I finally got it on the rack again this morning.

I took in the alignment specs I collected from the forum [Camber: 0.25° ± 0.25° (Try to avoid 0.00°), Toe: 0.25° ± .12°, etc] and this is what I ended up with. I'm surprised my caster wasn't higher after installing the 7° C bushings. Either it was really bad before or I installed them wrong or both. All three are equally likely.

It seems they are all bad before the C bushings go in. Your caster numbers look great, I wish I had that much.

Did you take it to get the alignment shop for a reason, or just information? If the thing drives well and isn't showing any irregular tire wear, then there really doesn't appear to be a problem.

With 33" tires, your total toe-in is about as low as I would run it (approx. 1/8"), but otherwise everything looks good.

I just felt it was time based on work performed. It drove OK for how i use it but much better now!

If all the front end parts (tie rods, ball joints) are fresh and tight I am not worried about the toe in.
