? For those with Light Racing UCA

[cj80cruiser]

From what I read everybody set their caster at 0° so I followed suit. I went to the alignment shop yesterday and was told I needed to spend a little more money on the front end to get my alignment in spec. He said I needed longer LCAs so I just chuckled and walked out knowing this might not have been the best place to get my alignment. Side note*** I just replaced lower balljoints and all tierods.

He did say that the bolt on top was all the way back and it needed to go farther to get the alignment right. Wouldn't you at that point have to clock the upper balljoint assembly a degree or two forward to get any more inward movement? Would that affect the ride negatively?

Anybody have alignment experience that can help me with this? I'm pretty sure I'm thinking correctly just want some confirmation before I walk into another alignment shop.

I took my truck in to Toyota and my steering wheel is now off center by a couple degrees. They said I need aftermarket LCAs to get back into spec

AFAIK there are no lower control arms available. The only company that might be out there is fabtech but I think you just get a bunch of bracketry that lowers the mounts and retains the factory LCA with their 6" lift.

I forgot to add that I don't have Light Racing UCAs...I have Total Chaos UCAs
