Having just replaced the lower A-arm bushings, both inner tie rods, strut springs, strut mounts and struts, it is time for alignment. Two questions
1. Should I have it towed (roll back) to the alignment shop, 35 miles one way?
2. The owners manual says what camber and tow in should be but that there is no adjustment for caster. Well, what the heck is the caster supposed to be? It's got to be something. BTW, I have overload springs in the rear.
Also, what about the pinion angle? Any experience here? Need some quick advice since I have an appointment this Friday to have it aligned.
Thanks
Jim
