These control arms feature our maintenance free Dual Durometer. I dont know Terry, i'm sorry but this has got me left with more questions in my head. All adjustable control arms are included to correct caster, pinion angle, and center the axles. On the other hand, If you zero out the angle meter on a true flat surface then install it on the axle, theoretically speaking, that should be an accurate reading of the axle tilt granted that all 4 wheels are perfectly leveled. I'm curious if that's possible to do to attain the correct angle. I'm now officially insane in my way of thinking this through. From my observation, training and experience, these values are derived from the steering turn angle, camber and toe measurements. Since the Caster is the forward or rearward tilt of the steering knuckle from vertical, i think the idea of placing the angle meter on the axle is correct, the question is, how would you know what the current setting is on the caster to know if it's out of spec.?. One thing though that came into my thoughts, the measurement of the Caster is also measured during the Steering Axis Inclination Angle(SAI) measurement so i thought this two came hand in hand while the computer is reading all the current values and comparing it to the stored factory specs. I've never tried doing an alignment without using an actual computerized alignment machine.
