dana 35 ttb camber bushing replacment and adjusting

4byRANGER · Dec 9, 2009

Hey there fellow TRS users, its been awhile since ive gotten on here but hopefully i can get this figured out..

My truck has a 5.5 superlift drop bracket setup on front, the coils have begun to sag a little and my tires are wearin on the inside.

i noticed my camber bushing were turned out from the axle which means im gettin as much positive camber as possible, i could get 2' shims.

Also i noticed there are holes in the drop brackets where i could move the pivots up, this will give me more pos camber.

or i could put washers under the coils, which seems like a HUGE pita.

let me know what you guys think!! all help will be much appreciated!

Start by putting washers under the coils. 1/8" at a time.

Likely 1/4" will do it.

Might want to check your toe. Too much toe out will casue the same issue.

Actually you should start by fixing that steering linkage before doing anything else (get the longer Skyjacker pt# FA600 pitman arm on that thing). That's contributing to your tires wearing more than anything with the camber (which doesn't look all that bad in your pic).

i have a dropdown pitman on the truck already, im guessing that my steering lingage arms are worn and probably out of wack.. along with the tie rods.

should i just replace those?
sometimes it does look as if the toe isnt straight, pointing outwards both ways left and right..

That doesn't look like the Skyjacker #FA600 arm in your pic...

Your tierods are out of whack like that because your pitman arm is too short, causing your toe alignment to splay outward as your suspension moves, which wipes the tread off the tires.

This page should be able to shed some light on your situation:
