    I'll do that, Don. Thanks for the tip. I did have it set on a machine before I put it up on the jack stands, and haven't driven at all since then.

    Caster = +5.7* (Pete & Jake's spec +5.0*)
    Toe = +0.16" (Pete & Jakes spec +0.125")
    Camber = -0.7*

    The steering wheel feels overly tight when the box is centered, and I have some play in the steering that I don't like. I just need to go through the whole steering setup front to back to see if I've forgotten to tighten something.

    Jack, my Vega box has some free play at the center, too, so I'll be interested in what you find. With a 13" wheel I've got about 3"-3.5" of "slop" at the center point.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
