Negative Wheel Camber

warzak · 07-30-2016, 08:04 PM

Working on a Precedent that has had alignment issues. Rebuilt the spindle with new bushings and installed a new king pin. Installed new clevises and installed new upper control arm bushings. Wheel camber is better but still negative (top of wheels leaning inward). I suspect something is bent or maybe someone earlier installed a wrong leaf spring or wrong upper control arms. Anyone run into this problem before?

Are both wheels tilted in?

Yes. I have adjusted both wheels to have equal camber but both are negative.

That's all you can do as far as adjusting. Changing out parts is next if you find anything bent or wron. Another thing is go with a double A arm all sports lift kit. You have good adjustments for camber that way. Maybe others will have better answers.

I need to do something. We are wearing out the inside of the tires and causing the king pins and bushings to go after several months.
