Short version: replaced stock suspension on my 2002 liberty with new stock stuff, took it to get aligned and they said they couldn’t get it into spec.
Long version: New to me 2002 Jeep Liberty 4wd, but not new to wrenching on suspension. Just bought this liberty and found a few torn ball joint boots, worn bushing, etc. so I decided to replace the garbage kyb struts/shocks and every other suspension component with high quality replacement parts. For example, replaced Upper control arms with extreme terrain mevotech, pressed bushings into lower control arms, factory lower ball joints (because I already had them), rancho struts etc. same with rear. Went to get it aligned at pep boys (because they were the closest) and I get a call saying that they can’t get the camber into spec and recommended a “cam kit.” I pressed the tech and he couldn’t give me a good reason why. Then I picked it up, looked at the specs, rh toe way off etc, and stormed out only to discover that all the adjustable bolts including tie rod nuts were loose.
Have you ever had a similar experience?
