Front end camber/caster settings ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I did the whole front end, it's all new. Took the truck down to Pep for an allinement and they don't have the setting for a 71. They used the setting for a 83 instead. It just doesn't seem right in a turn, feels like it's trying to pull its self or the inner is trying to slide. Does anyone have the setting for a stock height 71 1/2T ? I have the assembly manuel but the guy couldn't make heads or tails out of it.

I'd take it to a different shop. All this info is in the back of these manuals and anybody that can run an alignment machine properly should be able to interpret. It's like the parts stores, if it ain't on the computer CD they are stumped.

I have to agree here, if you have an alignment guy that doesnt know how to align it without the computer telling him where to put the numbers you should choose another shop.
