Negative Camber Alignment

[13_Metallic]

Alignment Issues, recently just did a coilover lift just got back from the alignment shop and the guy said i still had negative 2 degrees on my passenger side and cams look like they are maxed out. Wouldn’t think not having my diff drop in would make a difference and also don’t have a crossmember dropped because it was not offered with the 3.5 inch kit. 3.5inch Vertex coilovers in front and the Vertex Adjustable Rear Shocks Cognito UCA’s, Extended CV Axles, Adjustable Panhard bar, Adjustable lower and upper rear control arms, extended sway bar end links

Diff and CV axles make no difference here, the upper control arms are just too long for the setup. How many inches are you lifted?

 

[13_Metallic]

3.5 Inches. Why would it be negative camber if the UCA’s are to long? Wouldn’t that give it positive

 

[Dustin Jackson]

@13_Metallic You're right they are probably to short, 3.5 inches of lift is too much. If you can drop it down to 3 inches that should allow them to get it in spec

Just raised it some to match the rear but guess we are going back to the nose dive

@13_Metallic Lower the rear to get the level you want. It can be hard to get things setup 100% the way you want. I been there and done that with rear springs and different size lift pucks

As long as you ain’t doing no hardcore off roading you can get a billet ball joint spacer from show off Motorsports and that’ll get your alignment right the other option is to lower the ring on the coil overs to lower it down a half inch or so but then you would need to get smaller pucks for the rear so your not nose diving

A lot of people don’t like the ball joint spacers but as long as you run grade 8 bolts and don’t Baja it youll be fine I know a lot of people that run them with no issues
