Alignment check after OME lift 2.5"

[pivert]

Hello,

The car just out of all alignment and here's the result:
Camber left = 0.46 Camber right = 0.44
Caster left = 2.52 Caster right = 2.05
Para left = -0.05 Para right = -0.03

Do you think these settings are right?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks, but with my KJ 2002 model, my alignment results are good or not ? Because, these datas are out of your table.

Camber must be set as close to center specs as possible , cross caster must be within .5 degrees, you can sacrifice some caster when lifted . If toe and camber are within specs you're pretty much ok again cross caster must be no more than .5 degrees and at least 2-3 degrees

So, with my alignment result (see first message), do I drive without problem?

You have too much positive camber. You're not far out of spec and shouldn't have driveability issues, but you might get some funny tire wear.

That only spec that looks "normal" and within spec is what you are calling para left and para right, I assume that is the same as your front toe angle.

As was mentioned, too much positive camber. Not far out... but not correct either.

You have the JBA arms? Are they the ones corrected for lift, or not?

With stock arms and lift on our KJ, alignment was impossible.... camber was much too positive. Had to install UCAs corrected for 2" lift (albeit RROs and not JBAs) and then an alignment was possible again.

Kind of thinking out loud.... and some may object to this.... but slotting the lower control arm holes a tiny bit outboard should let you correct the little extra camber you've got.

Have never seen one yet that could not be aligned with THE RIGHT TECH doing it.
Never have to slot the holes etc.
Find a tech, small Mom and Pop place that knows what they are doing
99% of the issues with alignments over the years were solved by finding a good alignment person

Main issue with the camber is goofy tire wear. Handling doesn't seem to suffer appreciably.

Have never seen one yet that could not be aligned...

I've got a screwball KJ then. Tires were visibly angled after all camber adjustments were maxed out. But through adding UCAs, and now further mods, alignments are possible again.

At 4.5 inches of lift, of course JBA UCAs never an issue with alignment still could get it close as needed to be, over 90,000 out of a set of Duratracs and still worn straight across

I have installed the A-ARM of JBA for lift kit (on same time that OME 927/948 kit).

I'll go back to the garage to remake this alignment.

And increased tire noise. Ask me and my Grand Marquis how I know...
