2Five Camber Adjustment???

[kabinski]

The camber is off on my 2019 2Five. Negative camber on both sides. 3/4” on driver side and 1/4” on passenger side. However, I don’t see any way to adjust it. The shop manual doesn’t show anything, either. It only shows how to adjust alignment. Quick measurement shows my alignment is off, as well. Current alignment is toe-in, with tire centerline measurement at the rear about 3/8” greater than centerline measurement at the front.

I plan on yanking the wheels this weekend and at least adjust the alignment. Any thoughts on my camber issue? If there’s no way to adjust, what can I do? What might the cause be? Will adjusting the alignment possibly fix the camber issue?

For what it’s worth, tires are 215/40/12 (18.8” diameter) on your run of the mill aluminum wheel. Just thought I’d get some feedback from all the experts on here before I start turning wrenches this weekend. Thanks

After searching some more, sounds like it could be my hub or spindle bushings. I also read that when someone with a TXT corrected their toe-in, it changed and improved their camber. Hopefully that will do the trick.

In regards to the bushings, with about 3,000 miles on the ODO, how likely is it they are that worn?

Lift the carts front side off the ground, wiggle the front wheels with your hands at 6/12 o'clock position. Typical would be some play at the king pin / spindle. I've solved this with an additional washer ( 1mm thick ) on each side.
The RXV/2five's came allready from the factory with some play built in

Thanks for the tips, ojo

Ps.
Toe/camber affect each other, so adjusting toe-in would be not bad also.

FyI. Changing toe does not affect camber, but changing camber will require toe adjustment.

I think you're right, did it some years ago on my Chevy truck ( custom neg. camber setting )

Like mentioned check for slop in wheels and steering linkage(tie rod ends,ect)
Loose wheel bearing will cause camber issues , more likely to show when having larger wheels.

I just corrected camber issue on my txt recently. The major play in front end was from the king pins. Solution was to replace the king pin bushings with new bushings along with new bolts . Also had to add a thin shim (washer) to bottom of king pin to remove slight up/down movement.
Did toe alignment all good.

Thank you

I just shot a couple videos checking for wheel slop. Does this look like excessive play to you? I’ve read that some play is normal, but I’m not sure how much is “too much”. If you have a chance, please tell me what you think.
