Went a slightly different route mounting. I did the 2 bolts in the back with a 1/4” spacer. Then 2 U bolts around the square cross member up front with a 1/2”spacer. Then finally a bolt through the front radiator support with a 3/4” spacer. That way I can get the hood on and off without having to take the splitter off.

Follow up on the new headlights? You installed them in December. Do they meet expectations?

And yeah, tunes are important - even if they are hard to hear at speed. ;)

Anyone doing their own alignment and doesn’t have turn plates. I made some redneck turn plates. Took some old laminate flooring I had left over with the insulation on the back. Cut them down to 12” put the faces together with some grease in between and they worked fantastic. I adjusted my caster from 8.0 to 9.0 and my steering wheel self centers now. But now it pulls a bit right so need to fix that. Also the drives side front had to be raised to level. Car drives different but better now.

I’m still concerned about the accuracy of the DF method of caster measurement if that is what you used.

of course you are talking about turn plates so maybe you used a different method.

Camber and caster will cause pulls. You want a slightly higher camber and slightly lower caster on the left side to drive straight with road crown. Toe won’t technically cause a pull, but will cause odd drivability/steering issues.
