Suspension - Negative Camber in Reverse

Hey, I have a 2000 F-150 2wd that I just put a 3 inch trailmaster suspension lift with the new upper control arms and ball joints and the camber is fine in drive, but for some reason when I put it in reverse (and only in reverse) the camber becomes very negative. Any help?

the best advice I could give would be to call trailmaster's tech line, If its happening to you they probably have seen it and have the best answer,bob

You need a front end alignment.

I know it was normal for I-beam trucks but is it normal for the newer strut type suspension?

Alignment,for a start.Most likely too much Toe-in/out,providing nothing is moving.

hi guys. . . this is someone with the problem on the older trucks. i beam i guess? its a 94 f150 and i have the horrible camber when i drive it in reverse to park it for instance. you look at it and its ridiculous. you could serve drinks on them almost. its REALLY BAD. . . it literally looks like this:/---\ when i park it in reverse. also, i dont know if its related but as im driving it vibrates real bad and when i go to brake. . . forget it! it hops so bad it feels like i need to put my seatbelt on to keep from falling out of the cab. also, when i turn the wheels, it seems to lift on one side(the side im turning it to) a lot and vice versa.

just an alignment? ive tried jacking the truck up and seeing if there is any play in the wheel and there is none. if that helps. thanks guys (i put this here cause its related to the original question only its for the different year.
