    That’s pretty impressive and good info. I was wondering if it would take 8* as that would be a goal I had in mind, but that is very good and close for as the saying goes “close enough for government work” LOL!


    Cheers!

    Like Mike said, it adds .745 to 1 degree. It is not adjustable. It move the RR bolt all the way forward.

    According to my last alignment i was 6.8 and 7.1 L/R. It gets aligned today now that everything is in. I'll let you know the final numbers.

    The after caster numbers are 7.5 and 8.1 for L/R up from 6.8 and 7.1 respectively. I didn't have much time or distance to drive after the alignment but it felt real good for the short drive I did have. Steering feels more precise and it centers up well.
