Wheel camber

[terranosaurusdoug]

MadMarks passengers wheel looks like it's about to drop off

It has to be wrecking his tyres :nenau

Something is having an effect on mine, wearing the corner off of the shoulder of the tyre, taking a few little chunks out and I spotted a tiny split

Thats what happened to my Maverick when I did the torsion bars on mine, you'll need to get some shims added or removed, I can't remember which way round mine was :lol :doh

Where do the shims go??

I've been scanning the threads and it seems when you raise the front, some have problems with negative camber. Negative is in at the top so you have positive camber.
I wouldn't mess with it till you've got your rear springs in and you've reindexed the front. Haven't seen actual photos of shim position so can't help with that:thumb2
