Anyone have issues with camber?

Have you checked for ball joint play with a lever under the tire? That’s the first thing I’d do.

i did. i cant create any movement with a huge pipe for leverage.

i also have no front end noise or clunks

Then it's just a optical issue in your head and not really happening, get a alignment to confirm.

it was ok w/ me, since its only 1/8 of a inch for 1 degree, and thats not the whole bearing its only the top or bottom. so at the center where u joint is its only 1/2 that amount. plus you get a shim for the caliper mount which keeps the pads at same angle as the rotor.

At least they realize that other things change also!

1) Have alignment shop give you data printout.

2) Use data to decide if anything needs to be done about the low caster, or if there is any damage to the axle.

3) If you do anything, or you do nothing, the u-joints will be fine.


My 2000 has +100,000 miles on standard ball joints with lifted suspension. The tires "look" like they lean when parked, and it is not a problem.
