camber

so on the front of my tacoma, im runnin stock control arms with flipped ball joints, and re 6 slams. im havin serious camber issues, its wearin the shit out of my tires, will lower control arms fix this or what can i do to keep the factory arms??? any help is appreciated

are you sure its not the toe? camber doesnt really wear tires fast but if your toe is out then you will smoke them quick, its prolly the both together but check the toe first.

Do you have drop spindles? This would help camber a ton if you dont have them.

Naw, if he has flipped lower balljoints he doesnt have drop spindles. When flipping the b/j you increase the bumpsteer ALOT. The best thing ever made for tacos was the drop spindles by Max. They utilize stock upper and lower arms and are just awesome. Other than that option you can try un flipping the b/j(back in stock location) and just adding a 2 or 3" spacer between the spindle and the ball joint...should help with the bumpsteer. As far as camber goes....c'mon dude its a bagged truck, camber will be there always. Get the toe issues fixed as best you can then get it aligned at a good ride height...thats all you can do.

aight man thanx.. it is the toe.. damn alignments shops around here dont wanna touch a bagged truck so ill figure somethin out.

Cary, you on customtacos.com? There is an awesome how to article on alignments i believe.

so dont tell em its bagged. drive up at ride height and tell em to allign it.tell em its just dropped.

this might be a stupid question but can someone explain to me what "toe" means or is?

-thanks

just ask daniel allred he will tell u.

the toe is how straught the wheels are, in relation to the other wheel. when one wheel is turned left a little and the other is turned right a little. you are pretty much dragging your tires across the road. toe is a tire killer. i made a jig thats a little wider than the wheels when bolted on then measure the leading edge compared to the trailing edge. loosen the tierods and adjust. its pretty easy.
