Ok, I have the same problem that was posted a month or two ago,,,, about to run out of adjustment on the left side but plenty of threads left on the rite. Had trouble getting it to respond to changes though, would jack it up, set 2 stands, istall tool,,make adjustment,,,reverse. Spent 1/2 a day sunday with very poor results. Had the rear set to the proper height and on blocks so it would be safe. Problem was,,,,, the front tires would stick and it would stay very high. So I put two pieces of tough 1/8 inch plastic w/grease between them under each wheel. WOW,,,what a diffrence that made. Totally changes things. With the left a little low I got it adj. to 1/4 degree of camber on each side and 4 d. caster on the rite,,,2 3/4 left. Am going to get a little more on the left and then drive it a couple miles and check it again. Confused on the adj. screws though???? Any thoughts,,,,{double checked,,,bars in corectly,,left and right,,,letters to the rear. thinking of reversing the left} Thanks,,,,PL
