How much negative camber should I bee looking for? Less than this right? I can see it with the naked eye. The other side is about the same, but positive. I also need to drive somewhere with some level ground and measure these fenders to see if I am level. They look pretty good to me right now but I imagine they are off. I just put the torsion keys flush with the cross member the best I could.

Did you drive it a ways first? Or is that right after you let it down and it still hasn’t left the driveway? If you’ve driven around the block then that’s probably not right.

The battery was dead, waiting on my wife to get back to jump start it now. I think I need to come up with the front some more really, so if the camber is still there it might leave when I crank the torsion bar some more. I need to find somewhere with perfect level ground to measure my wheel wells. Where's Rick and Morty when you need them? Lol

If you're going straight to get an alignment, don't sweat it too much. You're not going to shred your tires or put yourself in danger in that shirt of a time.

When I do UCAs and am not able to leave a mark, I just set the adjusters to the middle of their range and let em ride. The place I like to go for an alignment is an hour and a half away. Never had a problem.

I took it for a little test drive. The passanger side seemed more cambered in than the driver's side, and the ride height is a half inch higher on that side when I parked at the car wash. For got to grab my jack or I would have adjusted the torsion bars while I was there lol. It's about to rain, and it rained on my level and some of my tools I left out last night, . Driver's side looks pretty close really.
Sorry for the dirty level, it's one of the tools that got rained on, lol

Success!! Too bad my leads won’t match the blue / green of the other end, but all things considered, I’m really glad I found the correct match to the socket!

The center of the hub separated, but the hub end piece is stuck. Not even budging. Beat it with a mini sledge--no dice. 20211015_161749.jpg20211015_161753.jpg20211015_161804.jpg

Would heat help to get the back end off the spindle? Any suggestions or ideas to get it off?
