#321893 - 22/09/05 12:29 PM Hey Ty or anyone else with a Shackle/AAL lift

Upon doing the Poor Man Lift, I noticed that my alignments was never right, even after taking it to the dealers. So I took it to Firestone (Monday) and they to explained there was a problem, Caster was impossible to set to factory spec and camber was an issue too. Well I got the opporunity to go into the bay with the tech and we worked on my alignment. I already was understanding that Caster numbers could be all over the place and it is important for tire wear that Camber be 0 so we set my truck to have camber of 0 on both sides, and caster to be higher on the passenger side like +.2 - +.5 degrees over the drivers side, the actual number of degrees itself will vary. The higher caster on the passenger side corrects the right side "drift/pull" that Xterras always have. And the zero cambers can help for even tire wear. Toe should be set to factory specs without a problem. So far my results are great. The truck drives straight as an arrow no pull/drift at all. Just thought I would share.

Thanks for the info Gabe. Which Firestone did you go to and who did you work with, so I can schedule an appointment with them.

I have a right drift on mine. A friend I graduated with gave me the same deal, It's just the result of stock UCA's being intentionally set out of spec (the t-bar crank). It's not bad, but it's noticeable.

Any good AZXC friendly shops around Tempe for alignment (discount wink ?)? Also, do I just need to get the front wheels done or all four after a PML?

I heard over on N4W that Turners in Tempe or mesa is a good place for lifted nissans.

Not Turners....It's Shumans, and it's on Siesta just south of Rio Salado (2 blocks west of 101 freeway). Call for an appointment at 480 894 2165...last I knew, they still charged only $40
