I've got a problem with the alignment on the front of the truck.

It was bought nearly new with a 4" lift already installed and it looks like the wheel alignment wasn't checked after installation.

The truck doesn't pull either way when driving, but I can see that the camber front wheels is way out. The tires are wearing excessively on the outside and I can actually notice by looking how bad it is (the wheels have a + camber so bad that you can see by just looking at it).

Unfortunately, Hummer or GM dealers aren't all that common in the mountains of the Caucasus (the nearest one is in Turkey, approx 500 miles away).

Does anyone know how I can do it myself? (I've got a reasonable technical background, so just need to know where to adjust).

Any photos would be great.

You should be able to find the needed info here.

I saw that already but thanks for it anyway.

What I'm really looking for is where the bolts, etc are.

Can anyone help or do I need to take a drive to Turkey?

I'll post more on this when I get home, but DAMN! Aren't there any alignment shops near you that do Independent Front end alignments? It's pretty much the same whether it's a car or truck.

Glad you're free to buy the H2. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

The Range Rover that the H2 replaced used to come back from the shop with more things wrong than when it went in with...

...an a few non-essential items (like the air suspension cpu) missing to boot!!
