Alignment question...

I understood everything else except the head of the bolt part, so using pictures from post 18 for reference, driver is facing 3 o'clock and passenger is facing 12 o'clock currently, right?
As far as SPC logo facing out to the tires, i've confirmed that it is.

The opposite. I think of the head of the bolt as the small hand of the clock. Driver is at 9, passenger is at 6.

Driver's side front is in a good position and so is the passenger rear (which is at about 10). In all honesty, none of them look to be completely out of whack. I don't understand how you can have such a huge discrepancy in the upper ball joint adjustment for camber.
 
oops i forgot to post a picture of the alignment yesterday so here it is:


I honestly think the tech didn't know what i was saying when i said camber was adjustable via the upper control arm by loosening the nut because the position was the same before and after every time i get my truck back.
 
Can I hi-jack this thread for a bit? I don’t have admin approval to write new posts yet— I’m a noob. So here’s my problem. Just had a new set of KO2’s installed plus an alignment. It still pulls to the right with steering wheel straight, although adjustments are in spec. Other than rotating tires, anything else I should check? Factory suspension and struts/shocks on SR5 2WD.

Also they used a lot of weights to balance. Is that typical with the KO2’s on OEM wheels? New shoes feel great though!

You could be feeling road crown. Houston area has a lot of this. There's also a lot of bad bumpy roads to be worked on lol. More caster on the right passenger side should help/take care of that I would think.
I'll only say it could also be tire pull because I experienced it with my old tires. But they were Coopers. It was awful. I'll never go with them again. So hopefully not your case, heard good things about the K02's.

The dealership determined it was a tire issue. They rotated them and it straightened the pulling issue. Somehow it threw wheel balance off and they took another 2+ hours trying to balance the tires again due to vibration after they rotated. When I got home I noticed the balance report complained of difficulties with left rear tire. Looking closer at the wheel tonight, they did not align the valve stem with the yellow dot as I suggested. But hey, now it’s aligned and lots of weights on the left rear!

slight pull to the right

Can you please give me some direction on my alignment issue too. I installed the FJ TRD kit, Toytec front 1" lower spring perch and the Wheeler's T-13 1" rear springs on my 2018 SR5 4x4 a couple days ago. Didn't seem to pull at all after the install and prior to the alignment. Now it seems to be slightly pulling to the right after Les Schaub aligned it. Stock UCA's.
