Question re: 1990 F150 4x4 alignment

the little camber bushing on the top ball joint. Stock, we have 2 settings.

there are ones you can get that have like 6-8.

rock auto is carrying ones that are infinitely adjustable - apparently they made one that allows the camber bushing to swivel.

I added super heavy duty F150 sprigns to my 'new' F150 from my 'old' F150 and of course I got some serious positive camber.

Has anyone tried these bushings? I want to order 2 so I can get it lined up this weekend, the positive camber is also giving me a healthy toe-out condition.

I have never tried them. I usually just let alignment shop supply the necessary pieces.

Is this what you are refering to?:

Yes, the one on the very left is the ones I am referring to. it looks like it can set caster a wee bit as well, which of course would otherwise require a BFH and blowtorch....

My cost via rock: $24. alignment shop cost for same: $60 per side. You see my zeal to supply my own...

But the shop price is probably an "installed" price.
These could be nasty little guys to replace.

Oh I got it such that you pop the pin, unbolt the bolt and give a rap with a cold chisel on the side and up they come. I buy antiseize like many people buy motor oil.
