Alignment Issues...

ok here's my problem... when i picked my truck up from the shop after being bodydroped, they had the front set up to camber in at the right time in order for it to clear from hittin the fender. well naturally i got home with the truck and needed to get an alignment due to it pulling to one side while driving. now that i got the alignment, my wheels dont camber in until the truck is almost laid out and causes the wheels to rub on the inside of the fender.

i guess what i'm trying to say is... what can i do to go back and readjust the alignment to have a slight bit more camber so the wheels wont rub on the fenders??

any help is appreciated

Well locally i have gotten to know the alignment guy at the colony tire in town...and when i got my bagged truck done i told him how much camber i wanted...so you might need to ask to talk to the alignment guy and tell him you want more camber so that it clears the fenders..all i had to do was ask, since doin that they get all my business...my bro road races and we got a full on custom setup done on his mustang...maybe that helps

yea i might have to end up doing that

i was just wondering if there was something that i could do myself to fix the issue... it doesnt need much adjustment

the camber and caster is adjusted by loosening the nuts that hold the upper arm on, and turning the bolt.

Yeah, just turn the camber in a lil bit to get it to clear...I had to do this on the passenger side of the Tahoe and the burban I had.

Just loosen the bolts on the upper Control arm mounts and turn them until the tire clears the fender...shouldnt take very much and shouldnt make the truck pull..

What BS are your wheels??

Yeah the main issue with your alignment is gonna be your toe in-out. Camber will make a difference but not much. Or you could just call up bryan and get him to reset your backspacing. Your a baller, you got the money!!!

LMAO @ baller! if i'm a baller.... i am one broke ass baller! lol

i already had to change the B.S. on the rear wheels in order to clear the bedsides, so i'm trying to avoid sending the front ones back too. i'ma just try to change the camber a lil bit in order for them to clear and it should be fine

i love my 35mm offset 22s

worked on the truck this morning and got the problem fixed... thanks again for the help guys!
