Camber adjustment... #309880 09/01/03 08:20 PM

Hi all,

I know I haven't posted in ages - got busier & busier with the kids, work, trying to sell the house, etc. Now I have a question that I should have asked months ago.

Several months ago I installed 1 &1/2 inch Cornfed spacers up front (2WD 4Runner) and I've noticed an "ever so slight" positive camber in my front tires. At least I think it's positive...it's like \---/ but not as exaggerated.

I've had 2 alignment jobs. The 1st at the stealer was worthless, the 2nd at an independent corrected it some but not 100%. Is it possible to get this corrected to the point where the tires are sitting flat like |---| ?

(I know I'm causing uneven tire ware but in 1 or 2 years I might upgrade my wheels & tires anyway).

Any advice is appreciated.

RJ

Whatever you do, don't go back to the stealership. I made the same mistake and when I went to get it re-aligned at an independent shop it was sitting at a positve 3 degrees on my right front and postive 1 on my left, so needless to say i think the stealership made it worse (the Toyota dealership here sucks incredibly bad anyway). It is possible to get it straightened out where it will be perfect you just have to find a reputable shop where they know what they are doing and do it right. Keep looking because it can be fixed. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Thanks Jonathan,

I knew all the people with Cornfeds couldn't be driving around with the same alignment as me. I'll try to find a place that specializes in aligning trucks. Maybe that'll be the place.
