On my '07 GX, I'm running Radflo 2.5" front coilovers adjusted about 2" over stock height; and I have SPC UCA's. As you all know, the SPC's have the adjustable ball joints.
My alignment specs are just about spot on, and the GX drives and handles very well. However, a couple of things have been nagging me:


My alignment specs are just about spot on, and the GX drives and handles very well. However, a couple of things have been nagging me:
- Ball joint angle. I reached out to SPC to ask if there's a preferred, or optimum, angle for the ball joints when the vehicle is at rest. For example, should they be inline with the spindle, perfectly perpendicular to ground, or ??? They said there is no preferred or optimum angle. Doing the best I could, I set them as close as possible to the angle of the spindle. Any thoughts on this?
- Where should the tire/wheel be in the wheelwell? I can get a picture later, but my tires/wheels seem to be a bit forward from center, e.g. toward the front of the vehicle. Only the pass side rubs the forward fender liner at full lock; and again everything else is good. Again w/ the adjustable balljoints, I wonder if the tire/wheel should be perfectly centered in the wheelwell?
