Spc ucas and alignment

[Johnkathy81]

Not sure if it's been covered here but just installed new spc ucas. Went and got alignment done at a friend of mines at Bridgestone, don't really specialise in 4x4 so wernt too sure with specs. Think camber was set at 0.5 and caster the way I had fitted them as guided (setting d) worked out to be about +3 or fraction over. Does this sound about right? Also grinded slightly the lip off my coil bucket although now after them alighning main bolt on top for camber I jacked up car to test it at full droop and realised the ball joint is wanting to slightly contact, do I try grinding more off if possible? Hoping someone with these ucas fitted can help. It's a 2013 St.

Thanks

Yep grind more away till you have no contact and a little bit of room to move. I had fulcrum set all of mine up cant remember the exact settings though

Thanks, I'll try grind some more off. Guessing not to take any metal past the actual lip of the bucket, witch is what I was worried about?

Anyone know what camber/caster should be at?

We grinded back then bashed flat with a sledge hammer. Saves removing to much metal.

Sledge hammer, shit not sure if I'm gain enough Lol. Might grind remainder of lip and see if it gives me enough clearance and take it from there.

Still can't find original specs for camber/caster though, thought someone would surely of known.

Here is the report for my wheel alignment after I did the lift + spacers...

Thanks heaps for that mate.
Seems like my caster is set to high think it's slightly over 3.

Noticed that place is in somerton wich is pretty close by to me, we're you happy with them?

Yeah, been there a few times now... will probably get my next set of muddies from them too.

Sounds good might give them a buzz tomorrow and find some time to book it in.

Thanks again.

Yeah i grinded my lip down to there was no contact when jacking up and down.

I still get the most tiny amount of contact on full lock when im turning 'right', gotta take the dremel to it soon.
