Wheel camber

[terranosaurusdoug]

What would/could affect my wheel camber on the front of my 2000 lwb?

Is there a way to adjust it?, thanks, Mark.

Bashing a rock could alter it, getting it back is another matter, makeitfit is the guru on this, Rick

My truck looks like its trying to hold a wee in :lol

Laughed out loud at that T-Doug :lol
Mad Mark has the same trouble doesn't he although he's heavily moded?
Yours is still standard isn't it?

Thanks Rick, I haven't noticed any damage but I haven't looked for any either, I'll give it a thorough once over, and hopefully Pete will have some advice :thumb2

Yeh I'm pretty sure it is, if them springs come tmoro I'll crank the front up a bit and see what it looks like, I think lifting really high has an effect on camber, one reason I'm not getting an 8inch lift :lol

I've wound mine up a tad but I'm going to go with a 2" body lift instead of messing with suspension I think. To try and avoid the problems. :nenau

I suppose they'll always be problems whichever way, I'm thinking more ground clearance with the sus lift, but if it drives like a pig they will be coming off, also I'm quite paranoid about tipping over sideways (in the truck) so I'll see in wales if it feels stable enough when higher, I must be brave :lol

Assuming it's not lifted then chances are your balls are sloppy Wheel bearings can also effect it but you'd probably know about that.
Adjustment though if your balls are good is simply shims behind the top arm.
Pics please

Righto, I'll check me balls tmoro, I might get the neighbour to help , I'm quite certain wheel bearings are ok, pretty quiet in me cab :thumb2, I'm relieved to know I can do summat about it if I need to, cheers Pete.

What do you want me to take pics of precisely mate?

Just to see how bad it is . Looking straight at front wheels.
Has it suddenly happened ?

No it's been bugging me for a bit now, I'll get a pic tmoro :thumb2

Mine was terrible when I wound up the torsion bars a couple of inches.
New upper ball joints, compression rod bushes and re shimming the top arms brought it all back into check.

Nice one, there is hope :lol

What noises should i expect to hear if a wheel bearing has gone, i have no droning/humming in the cab, i have lifted a front wheel by putting a jack under the wishbone/control arm thingy and given the wheel a wobble up/down and left/right. I get movement and can hear a knocking noise, i think its coming from the top ball joint but not 100% :nenau Gonna check the other side now.

 

[terranosaurusdoug]

while i checked the other side i noticed that when i wobbled the wheel the brake caliper stayed still, so wheel bearings it is, download time

May just need adjusting. It's a straightforward job too T-Doug
