Hi Brad, I drove it- cautiously, for 3 days incl an amazing trip up and down MT. Baker in NW corner of Washington state. I thought I had a ton of toe-out as I had REAR bump-steer! Very unsettling. It was at -1.8 camber on RR and similar on LR. Today I moved both camber eccentrics to the opposite extreme (pulling the bottom in) dropped it, tightened, and used a string to compare the front side to back side of the rear tires. It looks like I've got about .2" of toe-out now and about -1 camber on both sides. On a brief drive it felt good- no more bump-steer at all. Tommorow I'll get it aligned again. Is it normal for the camber travel to take away toe-travel on these cars? Oh and thanks for the tip on spring removal- if only I new that a few months ago!

PS. You previously said in an other post about alignments that you knew a way to remove all of the slop inherent in stock suspensions without replacing a single part --Will you elaborate ?? I can't figure it out!

thanks
