Yep, I forgot that was Gotgoo.NmexMAX wrote:richardekirby wrote:On the R51. It's paid off but still my wife's daily driver.

Also, for the front on a Frontier, success:

How necessary are UCA's for proper alignment? The reason I bought mine was for longer travel since the OEM unit hits the spring perch.richardekirby wrote:No I don't. They would not even put it on the rack. The guy looked at the way the tires were positioned, leaning out at the top, and saw the camber adjusters were already maxed out. He said there was nothing more he could adjust.
No problem with the other input. I like hearing other's ideas. I agree, I would for sure start with the rear and then tackle the front.
