Hey guys
I have a 2003 Chevy Silverado that is bone stock suspension wise. I put all new tre's as well as idler arm and pitman arm and a new steering gear box. It drives fine in town but on the highway it feels very uncomfortable and I feel like I am always correcting. I am coming from driving a 1994 GMC Sonoma that drove straight as an arrow on the highway and I expect this truck to drive the same with all new parts.

These are the specs that the alignment shop gave me after they did an alignment. Should the caster be higher? Any other suggestions?

With all stock suspension it should be no problem to align.yes you need more caster. Those trucks are easy to align especially stock. I'd take it somewhere else.

Does more caster help it go straighter? I also noticed the knockouts are still in it.

It really should have more caster. The split that you have is good, the camber & toe are good also. Yes, caster helps it go straight.

Are you talking about the plastic pieces they install on the cam asjustment from the factory to align it? If they are still in there then they didn't adjust it at all. They probably set the toe and that's it. Good news is if they are still in there then there is plenty of room for adjustment. I'd find a new alignment shop

Forgot to update this thread. I took it back to the shop and they added more caster. For some reason the toe was out .48* since they last did it one month ago.

Drives awesome now.

Figured a stock truck would be easy enough to align lol. They wouldn't realign it without a fight either. And blamed me, called me a liar, said I changed something because the toe was so far out compared to the last alignment. So I will never take anything there again.
