Default Alignment now Gearbox Back in

I got the name of the shop from the Hunter sales guy as it has been a while since I have had it done locally. Guy spent 2 hours so earnt his $80 . Obviously after a complete disassemble of the rear x-member the numbers were way out to begin with.

He liked working on the car which no doubt helped.

Wonder why he left the RF camber so far out of adjustment? Looks like he never moved it at all.

Went from 4.6 to 4.5, said that was as good as he could get it. Looked at old alignments and that is as good as they could get it also.

Sometimes you need to unbolt the lower BJ and spin the eccentrics the other way before replacing them. It's easy to get adjustments crossed-up so that the rotation in one cam limits how the other can be rotated. Not talking about the plate part with the hex hole, but the actual cam part that fits in the BJ frame. If camber really is that far out and can't be adjusted, something else is bent or severely worn and needs fixing.

Caster is much less of an issue too much and it gets harder to steer but self steers more.
Let go of the wheel and it wants to go straight.
