Has anyone ever adjusted their own Camber?

I have done an advanced search and havent come up with much. i saw one NBS on youtube but havent seen much on OBS camber. Anyone here ever done it? And if so do you have pics or a walkthrough for me?

For what it cost to buy a manual type tool you can pay for a 4 wheel alignment. to do just camber both upper control arm bolt are turned the same direction at the same amount of movement but will change the other measurements a slight bit.

yeah i understand the shop can do it for a pretty decent price not the answer i was asking but thanks for the reply, and yes, i have since seen the bolts you are talking about where you loosen one side on each attachment point of the upper control arm then giving you access to adjust positive and negative camber. hope it can fix one issue as it would be the cheapest way out.

I tried to do mine after I changed the upper control arm bushings, but I got the wrong bushings, mine were supposed to be offset in the center so they don't adjust all the way like I need them to be, its not that hard but you need to move both the front and back the same amount otherwise youll get squeeling tires when you turn and bad tire wear... just go get an alignment done... IMHO

ha thanks yeah. i couldnt do it myself from what i understand you need "knockouts" which are like big oblong washers in those two adjustment areas. had a shop do it. unfortunately i think its my lower control arm might be bent creating the positive camber.

Your truck should already have those washers, but you will need those bushings with the offset in order to get the right camber....
