Bronco camber
Hello, anyone have any input regarding why my 1990 full size Bronco would go into significant positive camber from just removing the front and rear sway bars? I removed the front and rear sway bars to replace the mount bushings and the end links, and for some reason it immediately developed bad positive camber. I've put the new bushings and end links in, but the camber didn't go away. The motor was out at the time, but it is back in now. I've recently replaced front/rear springs, and upper/lower ball joints so I'm pretty sure they're fine.
Any advice would be appreciated

Recently replaced front bsprings says it all
The sway bar removed or installed will make no difference in camber
The camber goes with the ride height
You jack it up and the camber goes more positive
There are tables in the service manual showing what the camber should be for any particular ride height
That is for any F150 250 or Bronco
I was a alignment specialist for 35 years
One thing to do, and what I used to do to show people (how messed up their truck was)
Drive forward and put an old fashioned camber gauge on the front wheels, note what it is
Then
Drive backwards 15 feet and rer measure the camber
That will be checking your axle perches and the pivot bushings
Probably not the problem with your Bronco, but check those brackets for the bolts being loose
