has any one installed a camber / caster kit on a 93 f150 2wd how hard of a job is it ?

 

depends on what you define as "hard". since you have 2wd it will be easier than the 4wd models. if you dont have an air chisle, then a chisle and a BFH will be your best friend. dont forget to use some penetrating oil such as PB Blaster. that will help you out alot as well. why are you putting new bushings in anyways? did you lift your truck or something? also if you dont wana even mess with it, and good alignment shop will know how to do them, and it shouldnt cost you too much. there is also a specialty tool that you can get. i believe summit carries them. all it is , is just a special puller, however if you choose to go that route that special puller will set ya back bout 90 bucks.

 

I put offset bushings in my F150 when I lifted it 2" and I thought it was easy. I aligned it myself as well.

 

how did you "align it yourself"?????

 

I bought a tool from a racing supply house that attaches to the wheel and has a bubble on it to measure camber and I bought another tool from Harbour Freight that does the toe (although you can do toe with a tape measure if you want to, this tool just makes it easier). Caster I just let it fall where it may, caster does not affect tire wear.

 

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I'm in the same boat now. I can't figure out how to get the old camber bushings out. I loosened the lock nut or jam nut (whatever it's called) and tried prying on it. It rotates freels and I can get a flathead under the hex head part of the camber bushing, but I just can't get it out. I'm starting to think I have to remove the whole knuckle and pound it out. Is there an easier way to swap out the old camber bushings without buying the special puller?

 

if you have an air chisle you could get a flat bit and wedge it under there while pushing in the upward direction, and operating the gun...thats how they do it at my work all the time.

 

I'm doin it in my driveway and I don't have a compressor. Is it just a matter of working it until I can get it out? Do the new ones need to be pressed in?

I forgot to mention my truck is 2wd, if that makes any difference.

 

ya it makes a difference...the 2wd trucks are about a bazillion times easier to do than the 4wd pickups! without air, my advice would be to get a large chisle, and hammer, and a buddy with a prybar putting pressure up on it while you try to pop it out. some PB blaster and a little torch action might also be bennificial...
