Please help! Toe out and negative camber after fabtech
Please help! Toe out and negative camber after fabtech
haha so here i was thinking i was so cool for installing my own spindles. Now i have terrible toe-out, so bad that my tires squeel on the road going straight... and the camber is all wrong. All i did was swap spindles for fabtech ones, i double checked and they are the correct spindles! first I took it to sears for the cheapness and the quickness, but they wouldnt even do it. they said there was too much toe for their computer to fix. and then i went to some local BS shop and they said that my camber was too f'd up and that they'd have to reinstall my UCA's with some kind of new bolt so that theyd be situated right. HUH? then they said i should go ahead and lift the back, and then come back. what do i do?!
Cambolts are your answer.... That shop was right. Reinstalation isn't required....just pulling a bolt, and replacing is all thats needed....then of course an alignment. They allow up to 3 or 4 more degrees of negative or positive camber. Stock bolts IMO shouldnt be used on something with anything new added (arms, lift, lower, etc).

You'll need to order a quantity of TWO....they are sold in PAIRS. One pair for each side of the truck.

Yeah, thats why you get these new ones. They give you more degrees of movement like Shane said
and how hard is the install? I'm working with a rusty beater from massachusettes. and i'm also not too experienced, i can spray PB blaster and wrench and swear but that's about as far as my skills will take me.
You can get them at pepboys for $17 a side.
Install them and then take it in for an alignment. Do it yourself though. Tires Plus tried to charge me $64 a side for the cams and an hour of labor ($100) to install them.

hmm...idk. wait a min....my cam kit that i didn't use is Moog brand. I run the same Ingalls I posted. So does my brother.
So to clarify man you need the cam bolts and if your toe is really bad do the toe alignment yourself. Jack up one side of your car and make a scratch mark on one tire all the way around it, do the same to the other side. Use a jackstand to steady yourself and a screwdriver to make the mark. When you have done this to both side measure from the line on one side to the line on the other side, front and back. The difference in measurement is your amount of toe out or toe in. The grab a wrench loosen up the jam nut on both tierods and adjust away, back your car up and roll it forward and check the measurement. Keep doing this till the measurement is the same front and back.
