Anyone have a chart of what shims to use for which particular drop?
What angle tolerances before you get into driveline vibration?

That's where I would start at.

Hope you get a hold of the right guy who actually knows what you are talking about.
They are getting harder and harder to find these days.

Has everyone checked your front hub bearings. Mine developed a slight shake and i just ignored it. Last weekend while putting on my new rotors i discovered that my bearing had a lot of slack in it. Funny when the other one went bad it roared like you would think a bearing would, but this one made no noise.

Mine started vibrating just last week. I had just balanced the tire/wheels, checked bearings, bushings and all steering and suspension components for anything loose, and found nothing. Rechecked balance after vibration started and it was good. I am going to align it again next week once the rack is back in working order again. I am also thinking of finish balancing it. It is a pain in the *** but damn it is a good ride.

But either way it is a good thing to be checked twice a year or after a suspension change.
