    Camber/Alignment

    Custom made adjustable upper A arms is the most typical aftermarket handling of this issue I’ve seen. XHP has these for a modest fee [emoji2357] https://xhp.parts/product/billet-upper-control-arms-for-hummer/ Prior comments on half shaft angularity stand. If you want to correct both and lift...

    Fan Clutch

    TM covers this well if read carefully. You may need to apply hydraulic or pneumatic pressure to the clutch fitting to allow movement for bolt to hole alignment. I had to apply approximately 100psi to release it to align. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Front toe adjustment after replacing TRE, lower ball joints, Pittman arm, idler arm and rebuilding steering gear. I was within 1/4” visually before adjustment [emoji123].

    Installing new radiator core

    I’m in a similar position with an ECV radiator that needs a core. Best to have a shop do it or just pay $$$ for a whole replacement Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
