alignment help- camber
ok guys i'm a bit puzzled here.
i threw our 79 C30 on my alignment machine yesterday, and I've got everything in spec except for passenger side camber. my hunter alignment machine is showing .74 degrees positive camber, and indicating its "in the red" and I need to remove shims. my issue is there are no shims to remove on that upper control arm. everything on the front suspension is brand new when we restored the truck. i mean literally everything- upper and lower control arms, new coil springs, all new tie rods. i know MOOG makes "problem solver" shafts, but arent those for the opposite problem? too add camber, not to remove it |

Re: alignment help- camber
right, thats my issue. I cant remove any more shims, so how can I reduce camber anymore?

Re: alignment help- camber
Anything out of place on the lower control arm? Are those bushings new too? You're probably seeing factory tolerance variances and yours probably just barely made the grade.
