Serious "stock" 4x4 camber issue! Please help!

[fordtrucknut77]

i am not a alignment expert by any means, i am merely going on information i have heard recently in regard to the ttb trucks... which is that the trucks develop a problem driving straight in reverse but will drive fine going foward and do not wear tires and will show up good on an alignment machine.
in these cases * i have been told* it has been the beam bushings creating th problem...now will it cause camber im not 100 percent sure but it will certainly cause toe problems and cause the truck to drive funny when in reverse.

The latest news...
New radius arm bushings also where installed first...
Tie rods are tight
ball joints are tight
Wheel bearings are tight.
Springs appear to be in their seats correctly.
New Radius arm bushings installed.
Toe was set,, driven checked and set accurately.

Then... new camber/caster bushings where installed (2.0+ to 2.0 -)

Reset the toe to "dead on straight".

Camber is still in the Neg. but slightly better.

plan "B" now in progress... throw mo money at it!

Ordered new camber caster bushings from rockauto. 3.25+ to 3.25-

we'll see what happens...

Now that I think about it, you're probably correct. If the beams are able to move laterally, that would definitely affect the toe, and could certainly cause erratic behavior like this.

When I get the 3.0 + or - camber bushings installed...
I'll put up the results here on what happened.

Thanks for everyone's help!
