Camber issue

[Lincs Mav]

Ok since fitting my new tyres and rims the driver side wheel is leaning inwards at the top if that makes sense. Ive been reading and it looks like the top arm needs spacing out to correct this. Is it just a case of unbolting the bolts and spacing behind the arm or is it more involved? My Maverick is lifted passanger side is perfect.

Weird how it's just one side ? Have you had the camber checked or can you just see it ? Top arm does have spacer shims and you need to add the correct thickness to suit the camber angle correction. All the figures are in the manual. So you need an accurate camber angle figure. Also while you're there, m,ake sure your ball joints are sound and wheel bearings are correctly adjusted .
Enjoy :thumbs

Cheers mate havent had it checked but it is visable to look at. My mate has the same issue he has changed ball joints,track rods, and his is also driver side only.

I think i will shim the top arm and see if that corrects it once ive got some figures to work with.

Might be worth checking your ride height too. What sort of lift did you do ?

 

[Lincs Mav]

Torsion lift however Georgie lowered his to see if it would correct it but it didnt.

are you sure they are the right lower ball joint as eurocarparts sold me the wrong ones and that pulled the bottom of my wheel in .? look here you will see a pic http://www.nissan4x4ownersclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20163&page=2

These things do not just alter on there own, have you hit a kerb or something? Rick

To be honest i did notice it when we lifted the truck. However i running diffrent rims now which has made it more noticeable.
