Anyone have alignment issues....

Default Out of alignment

I'm not a tech, but by the sounds of it, you've got a parts problem. Off the top I'm thinking the rack-n-pinion has an issue. I've got 37K on my H3 and it's holding the same alignment it came out of the factory with. And it's been off roading ALOT. Good luck with it. You'd think the alignment shop would have a clue after seeing it this many times.

I'd go with incompetent alinement shop, before I went dissin parts. You have to set the alinement, then torque the cam bolts so it won't move. If they stipped your bolts or boogered up your adjusting cams, you are gonna have exactly what you described. A moving target.

Why you askin here? There must be a 500 posts on here telling you you do NOT need a leveling kit, but you got one anyway?

The drivers side wouldn't crank any higher then a half inch... once I got the leveling kit I got the full 2 inches... and that was by cranking the torsion bar all the way on the drivers side...
