i have a 1995 f150 and am having serious camber problems. I have a 4" suspension lift and a 3" body lift on a 302 5ltr regular cab, shortbox. Im running 35 x 14.50 x 15 tsl swampers. The camber was out around 5-6 degrees so i brought it to the shop and they were able to get it around 3-4 degrees by using shims. Specs say they should be at 0.25 degrees. The mechanic said it may be because of my coil springs are no good. Any idea? I want to buy new tires as these ones are pretty well toast but dont want to ruin them as i still have serious camber. If it helps my frame was bent but got it straightened again. Some say they dont think it could be coil springs. Any input would be great.

 

How long have they been installed?

 

I bought the truck used about 3/4 of a year ago and the guy that owned it previosly said just over 2 years. So about 3 years.

 

If your springs are sagging, the camber should go negative (front end would look like this / \ ). If it's positive ( \ / ) then I would suspect it is from the lift.

 

Yea there negitive (/ \). Do you think it could be anything else besides the coil springs?

 

That's about the only thing I can think of right off hand that would cause them to go negative. How are the ball joints and wheel bearings? The could cause a little bit of negative camber, but I don't think they would cause as much as you are experiencing. Worth checking out though, if you haven't done so already.

 

Actually just replaced tie rods,ball joints,repacked bearings,brakes done. Im hoping nothins bent as my ford has went through some rough trails. I think i will try changing the coil springs, i will let you know in the future how things turned out.Thanks
