Need more help!!

Hotrods N Harleys · Jun 29, 2010

I just put a RC 4in lift on my 1990 B2, the instructions were very crude,but I followed them to the letter. My problem is that the front tires are at a horrible angle. They toe in at the bottom so bad that I can't hardly drive it. This is the first time I have ever messed with this kinda setup, so I was wondering if someone had an idea were I should start. Thanx for the help.

i nice set of adjustable camber bushings will set you straight.

as well as an alignment. and thats camber btw, toe is different

Anytime you adjust the height, you will need an alignment. You are probably going to need new camber bushings. 4" is too much for stock bushings. You can just take it to a shop and they will charge you a pretty penny to purchase, install, and adjust. Or you can buy some from Napa and adjust them yourself and save some $.

Will NAPA have adjustable camber bushings, or just replacement bushings? Thanx for the help.

NAPA will have them. i put them in my 87, nobody could align the damn thing worth shit. i took it into a tire shop in the area and they just put in the right bushings.
if mine were for a D35, id give you a good deal on them.

just curious, I was reading some post onthe TTB alignment a while back and remember the author bringin up the camber adjustments and showed a pic of them camber adjustment sleeves.. (I cant find the article/pic right now) but do those camber alignment sleeves go into the top of each of the I beams?

So if you brought it in for an alignment they would have to pop out the upper BJ's? Just wanna see if I can wrap my head around this b/c I plan to get a 4" lift real soon myself...
Thanks!

they are in the upper joint of the steering knuckle

adsm08 · Jun 29, 2010

Like evil said, they sit in the top of the knuckle, around the stem of the upper ball joint.

I am a little confused.(Again) I talked to my local NAPA, they said I need to know what size adjustable bushings I need.(-1 to +1) or what ever. If so how do I figure out the size I need. The local shop wants $200 to do the alignment. Plus I would like to learn it myself. (With help anyways)

Thanx, is there different thicknesses,or are they just one size? Thanx again for the help guys.

r1hatman · Jun 29, 2010

There are different degrees. Depending on how out you are, you will need a specific degree of shim, for instance mine in the pic are 3 degree, the ones I sent you the link to are 4 degree. You need to see how far out you are then get the appropriate shims.

That's a big help. I'll try to look at it this weekend. Thanx again for all the help.
