LR UCAs and seized alignment cams

I think everyone's answers have you covered but I was surprised to see these rust issues on Colorado. Was your truck from somewhere else?

An extra degree or two of caster is not going to wear out anything any quicker in your steering.

Ball joints and tie rods wear out due to impact forces, which are orders of magnitude higher than any steering forces.


I've run 7-8 degrees of caster on my S13 track car for over a decade, and I guarantee you the steering gear sees more force than a 4Runner when it's loaded up with full aero loads and big sticky R-compound tires. No issues whatsoever.

Hehe, you guessed it. It spent most of its life in Wisconsin IIRC.

<LOL> I lived in MN for 25 years so I'm not surprised!
