Need some help with a camber adjustment..

[Nezzar]

Hey guys, I just installed a new lift, springs, and UCA's over the last couple of days. Finally put it down on the ground, and I have crazy positive camber on the front tires....they literally look like this \ /. How do i adjust for this? Is the UCA bolt orientation? Is it the torsion bars? A combination of both?

Thanks for the help.

What brand UCA's did you go with? From what I've heard most name brand companies provide instructions on camber adjustments

 

[Nezzar]

Nitro from just differentials

If it's anything like my tundra, two of the lower control arm bolts have attached eccentric plates that adjust the camber. I forget if it's the front bolts or rear bolts. I haven't looked at the 100 yet though.

have you driven it in and out of the garage to let the suspension settle back,

 

[Nezzar]

Yes, I backed it out and let it settle, but the camber is still way off. I think it may be a combo of not providing enough lift with the torsion bars and not adjusting the cam bolts correctly. I'll crank on it again tonight to see if I can get it to come to a neutral position. Thanks for the help.

Not sure if it applies as you said nothing about the tie rods but a severe toe in condition will visually look like a camber issue. You may just need an alignment.....

See SA-6 through SA-10 (a little more than a 1/3 of the way through this file):

^^^ nailed it. When I install UCAs (aftermarket or OEM) I just get the adjustment bolts as close as I can and let the alignment shop take care of the rest.

thanks for all the responses guys. It turned out that it was the cam bolts on the uca's that needed to be adjusted, and once I turned those in the correct orientation the camber returned to normal. The alignment shop should be able to get it the rest of the way when they throw the new tires on tomorrow.

thanks for the help!
