How to adjust caster gen 3

How to adjust caster gen 3

Hello some potentially dumb questions here, bear with me.

Context:

Installed the Z1 spacer lift + FUCA + eccentric bolts both arrows facing inward. Then aligned at my local Les Schwab but it took them 3 tries. The first time they didn’t even realize the upper control arm was adjustable despite me providing them the manuals for them. Now I realized I have rubbing at full wheel turn when backing up despite a 2.5” lift and stock tires. The issue is I’m past the 30 day warranty and tired of dealing with them.

Questions:

  1. I think this is due to the wheel being to far rearward in the wheel well, I believe that’s called caster. Does this seem correct?

  2. Can I adjust caster myself without redoing my alignment the rest should be in spec?

6oz of Wheel Weights? 😭

Just got these new DX4 wheels. Love the look of the bronze.

Check out the amount of wheel weights the tire shop used. Is this more of a wheel problem, tire problem, or shop problem? My OEM wheels only had about 1/2 oz of weights. These have like 6oz on each wheel 😭
