    I've been dealing with a similar issue ever since I installed the OME set...getting so bad that abnormal tire wear from the camber forces me to rotate them more frequently--and just recently weird vibrations at near slow speeds (15-20mph).

    Every shop I take it to says nothing is wrong even though you see the camber without needing to look at a spec sheet.

    It sounds like an after-market UCA is the answer?

    Good god, is your town full of idiot mechanics or something? If you're to the point of noticing odd tire wear, SOMETHING IS MOST DEFINITELY WRONG!

    Do you have a spec sheet you can post? Search around for other people's spec sheets, and compare. I'm not smart enough to know off hand what the camber should be, but there are several people who've posted theirs...

    That said, yeah, you probably need UCAs, but without knowing your specific specs, it's hard to say.

    what tires? pic of tire wear? pressure checked? Have you checked your rack, ties, LBJs? Lots of q's...

    Many on here w/881s and stock UCAs.

    True, those are all things I *would think* the shops should check for as well...

    Pressure for the fronts is around 26-27 psi, I tried to do the "chalk line" method I saw here since the shop seemed to over inflate them (particularly for the rears).

    The ties and LBJ looks okay, the UCA does look like its pinching due to the angle, I'll try to get a pic of that later.

    Thanks all.

    Are they even putting it on the alignment rack? If not, that's crazy. If you lift and have that issue, UCA's become a must or you can chew trough tires like Pez candy. They will correct the suspension geometry to accommodate for the lift. I have Camburg uniball UCA's and love them.
