Even with adjustable camber bushings installed and the camber adjusted all the way, the camber is way off. How to fix?

Hang some weights off the beams right about where the rad arms bolt on.


Seriously, do you know which camber bushings you have in it? There may be a higher one available. I've seen them up to 3 or 4 degrees.

I'm not exactly sure. I had the shop do the front springs & camber bushings because when I had the old spring off & compressed the new ones, it started breaking the spring compressor & I still had several inches to go...

I'll take a picture tomorrow in the daylight of the bushings.

Any idea who would sell the 3-4 degree bushings?
 
napa has 3.125 in stock most of the time. only place i've seen 4 is on rockauto. but i haven't looked much
 
Something like this, perhaps? plus or minus 0 to 3-1/4" ($23.79)

If you go more than 3" higher/lower.....you could have problems adjusting the camber.....also the tie-rods need to be adjusted or the suspension will stay in a bind causing the wheels to look stupid-crooked.....

I lowered mine 3"......and had those problems to iron out......


Napa......adjustable 4 degree bushings worked on my 1989 2WD XLT
 
The front lift is only Skyjacker leveling springs...except they lifted the front higher than the 1.5" they claim.
 
go beat on it for a little bit off road, they'll settle then get it aligned again, that'll solve your problem most likely... If it's toed in and you drive forward, it'll look like that too, then lower when you go backwards...
 
I still think it's tie-rods in a bind.....but you gotta take what i say with a Mg of zana.....errrrrrr......pinch of salt.
 
i put a set of these on for a guy once and had the same problem. told him to drive it for a month or two and bring it back once the springs were broke in. once he came back i was able to get it a lot closer.
