My camber was off due to Old Town Trio at BMRA.
One side was -1.5* and the other was -1*. I installed a
Camber Adjustment Kit from
Napa Auto Parts ($20.00 each side). If you order this part on line the numbers will be wrong for the parts you need. It is better to go talk to them in the store and tell them what you need. I found that out the hard way.
See how it is offset to one side?
Looks like this:
First off you need to get the alignment checked to see how far off the camber is so you can buy the right off-set you need. (Sounds like you have and +/- 0.5* is within stock specs.) When you get the parts you need THROW THE DIRECTIONS AWAY!! They suck! Tells you the wrong way to do it. The ONLY good thing off of them is which way to install them to get + or - camber.
Second you need to find this tool. Its a 4 pronged socket. Looks like this:
I went to all the hardware stores and auto parts store to find one... no luck. I tracked down a Snap On truck and the guy found it for me but didn't have it in stock. He ordered it for me with 2 day air. Part was around $23 and shipping was $8.
Now take eveything apart: Brakes, Rotor, Hub, Pull the Alxe shafts and remove the tie rod on what ever side you are working on. You should have nothing but the knuckle left. I don't remember what the top nut was but I had that socket on hand. The bottom was a 33mm.. I know cuz I also had to get that socket extra.
Now that everything is taken off and loose. Bang crap out of the knucle downward. I used a 2 lb hammer and it took me about 10 to 15 hits to get it loose.
NOW it a great time to see if you need new ball joints. One of mine was in GREAT shape... the other acted like an old joystick. There should be no play in them at all. Once you have this done look in the bottom hole from the under side or flip it over and look that way.. easier to do. You will see that you now need that 4 pronged socket. I tried other ways to remove it but.. right tool.. right job. The
CORRECT way to remove it is tward the inside of the nuckle, Like this:
"Back" the stock sleeve out and install the new thinner sleeve. Pop the Camber Kit in the bottom and give it a lil tap with a hammer to get it flush.
Now the FUN part... putting everything back together. Its a lil of a PITA but with an impact wrench it went a little bit easier. Slide the knuckle into place on both upper and lower ball joints and
HOLD it in place with a clamp of some kind. I used my 4WD ball joint press kit (Harbor Frieght $30 on sale) and held it like this:
The Camber Kit will slip out a little at the bottom as you can see in that pic. Here is a close up of what I am talking about:
now here is when the impact really helps. Thread the nut (new nut if you got new ball joints) hand tight and then put the impact to it and tighten it up. I could not get the kit all the way flush but I did get the nut on tight enough to easily get the cotter pin back in the hole.
Now finsh putting everything back together and do the other side.
GO GET IT RE-ALIGNED AS YOUR TOE WILL BE OFF AGAIN!! I got the life time alignment from Firestone $140 and I have used it 6 times so far. Thats better then $60 a trip there don't you think?
I hope that helps you or some one else. I don't think I have enough pics for a full write up but if you have and questions feel free to ask.
