94 ranger 4x4. The top of each front wheel is leaning in towards the engine slightly, so camber is not correct. I removed each front wheel today and adjusted the camber bushings that surround each upper ball joint. I maxed them out to try and get the wheels standing level. One side was close to max, the other side allowed more adjustment. The camber bushings were stamped 3, so I presume 3 degree max camber. When both bushings are maxed out, the wheels are almost at 0 camber, (or level I will call it), but on a test drive the truck seemed to pull to one side. I presume caster and tow need adjustment for the new settings.
My question---If I buy the universal camber\caster adjustment bushings with both a camber and caster adjusting bushing in one, and I still can't get to 0 camber, can I put washers under the front springs to get more camber and level those wheels out?

If you get the dual adjustable camber/caster bushings that offer +/- 4 degrees of adjustment and still cant get it aligned, you have some big problems. The dual adjustable camber bushings are a good investment as they will never need replaced and allow total adjustment of camber/caster separately. The hard part is finding an alignment shop who knows what the hell they are doing. Good Luck...

Thanks guys, I will check the ride height as per the great article that you linked me to. Super info. If my ride height is off, I will install a couple washers under the springs as I have the exact right size washer per the tech article on coil springs.
I have now ordered the universal caster camber bushings that are adjustable from 0 to 4 degrees. They will arrive Wednesday. Hope my alignment shop can work with them.
