Camber Issue

Hi everyone. I recently installed Moog CC824 springs, Moog ball joints, new radius arms/brackets/bushings and tie rods. I brought it to an alignment shop to see how the camber turned out and was at 2 degrees positive on both sides with the stock bushings. I installed the Moog K80108 adjustable bushings afterwards and believe I have them set to the max amount to bring the camber back in. I brought it back to the alignment shop and it’s showing it at 3 degrees positive on both sides now. Do I have the bushings set wrong or do I need to install one of those camber adjustments at the axle pivot?

Yes,
Your arrow needs to point to the inside to lessen the camber
You need to get that camber down around .75 to 1.5 degree
The camber goes with the ride height (if it is jacked up it will have more positive camber and that is okay)
A usual ideal set is .75 for the LH camber and ,5 for the right then the toe at zero or - 1/32
Caster about 3 degrees on one of the older ones
I build in a small caster / camber split to make up for the crown of the road
More positive caster on the RH side, more positive camber on the left side either one will be okay
Good luck
Use a big blunt chisel to get that cam out

did you install the bushings with the thinnest part to the outside. don't know how many kits are out there for this but on my bronco with a 2 1/2" lift it has a bushing kit in it and my front end comes in about zero on both sides. anything over 1/4 deg positive is going to wear the tires. are you letting them make the adjustments or did they make any recommendations. if its a good alignment shop they should be able to show you what needs to be done and help you.
