Massive camber issue! 96 5 lug prerunner

OK, see, NOW I can understand what you are talking about. I was picturing a heim joint that would be fixed into the control arm. Not all heims are threaded, some are fixed mount, but allow the inner heim of course to move. But now I get what you are talking about.

 

If the suspension pivot points are worn out or the bearing is tweaked unwanted camber will also result. I know what camber is, im looking for unobvious causes.

 

OP, you've asked the forum what could be the cause of your camber issue and some very knowledgeable and experienced folks have offered you honest feedback to what they believe is the obvious cuase. There are a lot of people on TW that love to troubleshoot and fix these types of things.

The consensus is that your homemade control arms are the culprit. However, the only responses you've provided to that have been something to the effect that you know that's not the issue and that you're fabrication skills are sufficient for engineering and building a set of long travel, upper and lower control arms. While I applaud your effort to build your own stuff as I like to do the same, have you taken a moment to actually consider that maybe you need look into this as the problem?

Please get your frame checked out so that you know with professional certainty that it's not already tweaked and put a set of stock components back on the truck. You can typically find the necessary components for fairly cheap from a scrap yard. If the problem goes away, then you've found the issue. If it doesn't, post back here with the results and what you find by putting it back to stock and people would be glad to help you go from there.

In order to troubleshoot something, you start with the most obvious and eliminate those possible causes. Something is obviously not right with your set-up. Take out the unknown factors (homemade arms) and replace them with a known, proven components (factory) and see if the problem is still there.

If you're not willing to accept the help, why ask for it?

 

ben, your answer is too logical, cant be the answer OP needs.

 

your truck is fine, drive it.

































since thats the only answer you seem to want to hear.

 

Your thinking of uniballs, they are fixed

heim (AKA threaded rod end):


Uniball:


there is also Armada Engineering's new uniball rod end but thats a very new thing on the market and wouldnt be used on upper arms

 

this thread is still going?

OP got his answer: We all suck

 

Do we!? ........

 

i still wanna see a video...

 

Ill have one for you guys this weekend. Just a matter of having someone stand outside with my phone while i go past

 

So basically someone who wants to die and or wittiness a death? Seems legit.

 

Meet ya there !

 

I wanna see an epic jump! None of this "60 mph driving through a rough dirt construction site" bullshit. I want " evil knievel, I just jumped 10 flaming buses while being blind folding riding on crapy homemade suspension and IM ALIVE" kinda shit. Do us proud son!!!!!

 

X3 lol

 

I would recommend you stand outside your truck too

 

Lets get high off elmers glue!!

 

fixed

 

that's the only way to be safe.

 

Ive fixed my camber issue. I had a horrible toe out problem from when i had the fabtech kit on and couldnt figure out what caused it, it came up after smashing through some ruts. Thats when the camber started aswell. So yesterday i was finally able to break loose the tie rod jam nut and fix the toe issue. When i did this my camber magically disappeared along with my horrible bumpsteer and pulling. But now my steering wheel isnt center. So im blaming this on my steering rack shifting to the left an inch or two and screwing up all my geometry.

 

Sweet. Now go get some video!
