Horrible alignment problems continued

Hope that cures your tire angle change in reverse. Good luck and let us know how it works out.

hey, did you get this figured out? I basically have the same setup as you and I noticed when I back up the front wheels lean in at the top too.

Hey man, sorry i never updated this thread. SO i finally have a perfect alignment, I ended up buying michigan metal works "camber cure" upper control arms. Which offered me TONS of adjustment. I had previously installed belltech camber kit, which ended up NOT being used on the michigan metal works control arms. Currently I am running drop spindles, drop keys, and michigan metal works camber cure uppers, And the michigan metalworks bumpsteer kit.

The ride is pretty well. I've got several thousand miles on my new tires, They are wearing perfectly. I have a perfect alignment

So michigan metalworks without offset control arm bushings fixed her for Ya! Glad you got it, Sometimes it takes several tries.
Please EDIT your posting title, add "SOLVED" . Thanks.

I got a alignment, it helped a bunch, but its not in spec. I have belltech drop spindles and keys and moog offset upper CA's but thats not enough so I guess I'll get michigan metal works "camber cure". thanks for the help glad it all worked out for you!

I was gonna say try some mcgaughys spindles. That’s what I have with 3/4 purple keys an mine has aligned perfect every time. But I do have the upper ball joint angle issue. All my suspension is brand new so I haven’t had to replace upper control arms due to this. Yet. I have wondered bout flipping my upper arm but I’ve not seen or heard of anyone doing it with the mcgaughys spindles. Here is my hoe.

I also installed the kyb stabilizer and I ended up taking it off. It felt like it was straining my gear box an I think it made more play in my wheel. That was just my experience. I have a brand new one if anyone interested

Interesting you mention the KYB stabilizer causing drag on the steering.

The weird thing is I did the stabilizer prior to installing the Michigan metal works arms, and the bumpsteer kit, which basically is a heim joint, and spacer and longer bolt to keep the tie rods parallel to the ground. It seems to have MORE bumpsteer with the kit installed than it did before. I might remove the stabilizer and see how it acts.

ignore the mess, have no clue what’s spilled all on the arms. Oil/grease, road grime.

see pictures

Here are some pictures of the MMW arms installed. Got 5000 miles on them, tires are wearing perfect.

Balljoint angle is good. Terrible pictures. Ended up using stock cams, way better than the Belltech.

Bumpsteer is still pretty bad, and the rear end sways at highway speeds 70+ it feels like a pontoon boat.

I like those arms. I looked them up after u posted it. I never heard of them. Was also interested in the tie rod kit for bump steer but my steering is ok. I have noticed the lean on my tie rods tho. But all the stuff is moog an brand new so I’ll see how long it last. I just got a alignment the other day he said my camber was maxed out but dang near perfect. An yes the kyb thing I thought would make it better. But since u have it installed take it out an see if it don’t do like mine did. It made my steering worse I think. It had more play in the wheel with it cuz I reeally feel like it put strain on my gear box
