My left front measured out at just under 2 degrees positive camber. After reading up on all of the pertinent posts, I pulled the stock bushing. It was a zero degree non-adjustable of course. Before running up to the parts store to pick up a 1.75 degree correction bushing, I cleaned up the bush and smeared a light film of antiseize and reinstalled it. I drove it in with a few whacks of a 2 pounder and a large socket and tightened down the pinch bolt/collar. I reinstalled the wheel and drove it around and parked it in the same spot where I measured the camber before. This time it measured just a hair over zero degrees positive. :dunno:

Fellas....what did I do to come up with this outcome? Perhaps I drove the bushing in further than when I took it out? Your thoughts are most welcomed of course and thanks much!!!

Did the new one have a hex head on it?

Are you using some way to fully relieve any binding or tension between the front tires when you're parking it? (this can affect the height of the suspension, and in turn the camber).

Like parking one front tire on two steel plates with rolling dowels (or grease) between them?
