that makes no sense at all. relocating the axle has nothing to do with toe.

readjusting steering wheel is normal. toe should not change. maybe it was out of spec prior

Well it's dead on now and the left front tire is back where it should be. Was bugging the heck out of me.

Which caster bushings on Amazon are the correct ones for our trucks? None of them say they are for a 2017.

They also might have them at the local auto parts shop. I picked some up at O'Reillys yesterday. The 80154 are fully adjustable from -2.5 to +2.5 and anywhere in between. The 80126 as mentioned before are not adjustable and are only 2.5 degrees.

I have yet to get mine in to check the camber also. It seems I need to get the fully adjustable bushings though. After driving my truck for a while now with the level...I do think the steering seems just a little bit off. Not bad but not as stable..like straight line tracking. I'm curious to see where its at. hmm... maybe if the local orielly's has the bushings maybe ill mess with that tomorrow

I know carli kits come with a 2 degree bushing so I might start there.
