Re: Adjusting Camber & Caster

Hey Eight when you look at your truck do the wheels look tipped in or out???.....Maybe its just me but I have set more cars/trucks and hot rods up on a flat surface with a framing square and a tape measure than I care to admit and they all went down the road straight and even my bagged truck tire wear isn't and issue ( on the front LMAO)

one thing to check is to the get the wheels straight and measure from the lip of the front to the lip of the rear rims just to make sure things are Square also take a quick look at the shims on the Upper control arm the stack thats in there should be pretty close to even......

and remember that any adjustments to the control arms will reflect on the toe...I measure up off the floor as high as the under carrige will allow and mark the tires at that height on the front and rear side then measure across the front and then the rear the front should be about 1/8 to 1/4" narrower giving you a bit of toe in
