    Turn signal and brake light issues!

    Thanks guys! I got the lights working. Now the brake lights activate will 4-6 pounds of pressure. I also attached a few pictures so if some one else comes across this issue it will save a little time, because searching the TM"S isn't very fast, although its faster for me because i made hard...

    Removing rear shims to get the tires to ride vertical? Good idea?

    Yes pull those shims!! The camber should be near perfect after you pull the shims and then all you will have to do is adjust your toe and your tires should be safe. My tires were really cambered in really bad they looked like this...\-/ Now they are like this... |-|. I had a total of 6 shims on...

    Removing rear shims to get the tires to ride vertical? Good idea?

    Yeah good luck to you as well. If i wasn't a cheap A$$ i would have just bought new (complete)rear radius rods and be done with it. Nevertheless, i removed them and heated them up with a touch and got them to loosen up. I then cleaned everything and put it back together and now i'm going back...

    Removing rear shims to get the tires to ride vertical? Good idea?

    I took off the radius rod and removed the outer tie rod and the inner radius bushing and in the middle there appears to be a steel sleeve/stopping device. So now i know what happened. The tech was unable to turn the sleeve due to it be seized up (AGE), as a matter of fact it was really stuck. It...

    Removing rear shims to get the tires to ride vertical? Good idea?

    yes it is. every thing looks great, its just he could not get the radius rod to tun. do you know if the (sleeve) is sold in the middle and is only threaded so far in? or is the Sleeve threaded all the way?

    Removing rear shims to get the tires to ride vertical? Good idea?

    this was before any alignment. actual they was unable to align it so No they didn't charge me anything. And their machine only goes from 1992-97 Hummer H1 Alpha. I told them to use those spec. I removed all the shims about a month ago in the rear and the tires look great and she drives good but...

    Removing rear shims to get the tires to ride vertical? Good idea?

    Yeah, but this is what the tech said and did. He attempted to adjust the Radius rod and was able to turn it just a bit and was not able to turn it any more. He even used a torch and got the piece nice and red and still couldn't turn it anymore. he said that radius arms and the tie rod end must...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Yeah he was! At first they said their machine didn't have the specs for that truck. i told them just to input the data as you would for a Hummer H1 alpha.

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    I guess he attempted to adjust the toe in and the adjustors ( radius Rod) was maxed it wouldn't allow him to get any more adjustment. He also said they will have to be replaced with shorter ones or remove the adjusters from the sleeve and cut about a 1/4" off of each adjuster so he can get more...
