Camber Angle
So far I've enjoyed the site, a wealth of information and helpful people. I've got a problem to pose to you guys that tinker.
Had some masive flex out on the trail, front right tire and left rear tire were on the ground and the other 2 tires were just assisting with balancing.
. Once I got over the rut I then proceeded to get the underside of my truck nearly perpendicular to the earth, rearly rolled it onto the drivers side but shimmied my way out of it.
Whelp, when I got her out of 4x4 and back onto the highway I noticed that I had one heck of an alignment discrepency. Its that kind of alignment problem that would be really nice if I were driving on a racetrack with nothing but left turns.
The alignment isn't a big deal to me, I'll take it in to the shop next week. My concern is with what appears to be a serious toe in that wasn't there before. Drivers side tire is only off a little bit, not really noticable. The passenger side on the other hand, is really bad. I've only been driving on it for a week and I've probably run off 1/36th an inch of tread or more off the inside shoulder of the tire.
I'm worried that when I take it in to have the alignment done they won't be able to correct the camber, or worse yet, a bent frame or some other suspension part is discovered. I also wonder if I could correct an alignment problem on my own.
Anyone have any idea? Appreciate any input you guys have.
