Camber Shims

Who sells camber shims? I need them for our 97 F250 with TTB front end. We added a leveling kit, adjustment cams for the ball joints and had the front aligned but I still need the shims. I can find all the camber shims I need for smaller spindles on the the Bronco, but I can't find them for the larger spindles on the front our truck. NAPA has several options, but they aren't the correct diameter, so I know a company somewhere may make these - just need some leads on who that might be
Thanks in advance

napa has them because i use them all the time. just got to find the right guy to look them up. tell me what degree change you need and i can look them up for you and give you the part number. they now make adjustable ones for the 4wd trucks and they are very nice.

NAPA is where I found the other shims - the smaller diameter ones. Are you saying that there are bigger diameter shims available?

yes there are. i used used them on my 95 after a leveling kit and i am a mechanic so i use them at work alot too. ok here some numbers

numbers for 1980 to 1999 fullsize pickups

adjustable bushings (i recommend these!) these you can rotate till its dialed in then lock it where you want it
264 2790 1/4 degree
264 2791 1/2
264 2792 7/8 degree
264 2793 1 1/4
264 2794 1 5/8
264 2795 2
264 2796 2 3/8
264 2797 2 3/4

these are just straight change no adjustabilty 1980 to 1999 full size
264 1500 0 degree
264 1504 1/4
264 1501 1/2
264 1505 3/4
264 1502 1
264 1506 1 1/4
264 1503 1 1/2
264 1522 2

there if they can't help you when you give them the part number then find another store. all the full size trucks use the same bushing but the 2wd and 4wd are different so make sure you tell them this is a 4wd. they are either giving a 2wd bushing or a bushing for rangers and bronco II's

hope that helps

Are these the camber shims used on the ball joints? I have already used those and I still need more camber adjustment. I was hoping to find the type I used on my Bronco taht fit between the spindle and the knuckle - they worked great!

yes those are the ones that fit the ball joints. i ahve never heard of the one you speak of. another option for you is a set of new axle pivot brackets but they run about 170 from JC Whitney.
