Removed 0.5deg sleeve and installed 1.0deg sleeve on driver side. Appointment for 8am tomorrow @ Firestone. I hope my math is right!

Can you post a pi of this "sleeve" you are installing and where you are installing it? You have lost me, though pretty easy to do.

Under the upper ball joint retaining nut is the sleeve and tapered washer.

Remove wheel.
Remove nut
Tap stud lightly
Use special socket tool to remove stock sleeve
Install reverse of removal.
After new sleeve is threaded, install wheel and put weight on wheels to prevent ball joint spinning.
Don't forget to add tapered washer to keep nut flat.
Go check alignment and dial it in. Take the socket too.
Easy as pie.

I'll know who to call when I have camber issues. I thought it was something the alignment place fixed, not me. Give me about two years, by then you will be a commanding general!

I will have to remember the lifetime alignment deal if they havn't cancelled it after you totally took advantage of it.

Hell, if the non-mechanics there wouldn't give me the deer in the headlights look when I explain what I want, I wouldn't be so insistent on doing all the adjustments myself. There is a lack of talent in the automotive repair industry these days.

I think that lack of talent is a little bit of an understatement mostly because of all the computer changes most modern mechanics a computer guys running a computer.
