What is the definition of "properly"? To get my car into factory spec, the mega expensive Hunter machine printed out instructions that said knock out the alignment pin on the brand new bearing. Sounds "improper" to me. What if we also slotted the tower a fraction of an inch to get it in spec? Or should I have just thrown it on a frame rack, replaced the whole left side suspension and hoped that one of those pieces tossed is the reason the suspension is out .1deg?
