Alignment ? about camber kit
I searched but couldn't find what I was looking for.
So I had my truck aligned and it was fine but my truck was leaning an inch lower on the passenger side (didn't notice until after I got it aligned) I left it for a longtime but it just kept bugging me so I cranked the torsion bar up an inch and leveled it out. Perfect and now I like it.
But, I went to get it aligned last week and they said that they couldn't align it now because the camber was off and they couldn't fix it without camber adjuster kit which they wanted to charge me another $180 bucks for it.
-----Front Left-------------------------------------Front Right-----------
Actual_____specified range_________________Actual_______specifed range
-2.3________-1.2 to .2____________________-1.3__________-1.2 to .2
Is there anyway I can fix this myself. I don't know anything about alignning a truck. I know that you can buy a kit at like Napa but could I put it in myself and fix it, or would I still have to go back and get it aligned again, Rrrr
Damn I should have bought the lifetime alignments, and I can already see odd wear on my front left tire, I'm going to go rotate them right now but I need to get this fixed.

ok get this, I had noticed that my truck still pulled to the left like it did before the alignment and that my tire was wearing pretty bad, so I rotated them.
When I jacked the truck up I was watching the tire and when it got off the ground it shifted inward. Then I though huh that was weird, maybe that will help. So dropped it back down and lifted it again and it didn't do it this time. I have tried jacking it up multiple times and it doesn't do that anymore.
So today was the first day I have really drove it any since I rotated it and it doesn't pull near way as bad as it did. I goes fairly straight actually.
So now I'm going to watch it and see what happens. Wierd
