I have a 97 OBS ECLB truck it has a 2/4 drop (yes a no-pointer), the last set of tires didn't last too long (poor alignment at another shop) so I got my new ones on yesterday. I took it in for an new alignment today at a better equiped shop that my friend works at. They measured it up and said the caster and camber were out pretty bad.

I'm a D.I.Y. kind of guy and my friend knows this, he told me to take it home and remove the upper control-arm. Once I have this out he said their would be a plate that I can punch out with an air-chisel to give them adjustment of the caster. Have any of you encountered this before? What is envolved? I'm planning to attack this tommorow, is there anything I should know before I tear into it. My friend is going out of town and can't help me.

I thought I would ask you gurus on here. Thanks guys & girls.
