twitchy handling after fox 2.0

[Wolfman00]

so here’s the thing…swapped to foxes and then swapped globals to tremor springs.

handled just fine. went to a local dealer in annapolis for a oil change and had them “check” it, bam…crooked steering wheel…twice. they did refund me since they messed up the alignment twice.

they said my alignment was good. pure bs. it was better before they touched it.
so i know that needs to be fixed. setting up an appt to get it fixed elsewhere (any md people have suggestions?)

for education, what actually causes the twitchy feel? is it toe? caster?

edit- so it handles ok at city driving at 40mph or less, but at freeway speed it’s alittle touchy. caster?

I *think* castor causes some wandering and camber causes some twitch but tomato tahmahto

Mine was the same after the second adjustment on my Fox 2.0s (twitchy, wandering front end at speed, less confident). I had a professional alignment shop redo the alignment (Les Schwab out in Bend, OR) and the truck drove perfect afterward, better than even the first alignment that 4WP did after the 2.0 initial install. The lesson I learned..don't bother paying the shock installer to do the alignment. Take it to a real, dedicated alignment shop afterwards.

yeah, sounds about right!
i just cannot understand why these places cant do it right. the new machines are really idiot proof, or so you’d think!

so i go my alignment straight. but as usual i got it back with a crooked steering wheel. they tried to say its road crown…umm no.
so i gotta take it somewhere to get that straight. literally.

it’s crazy.
here’s my sheet for actual numbers-

A little negative camber and maximum allowable toe in would help.

got it fixed. last placed f’ed it all up. drives like it’s on rails now.

I like me some negative camber, but I race.
