94 steering and alignment
Happy Sunday everybody, and hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.
1994 f150 4.9 2wd RCSB
I’ve been having a hell of a time getting this steering, suspension and alignment correct. Initially I knew a lot of the components were wore out so I replaced the radius arm bushings, axle pivot bushings in the I beams and all of the tie rods, and ball joints all around along with adjustable camber bushings. Got it aligned and they printed off everything showing in specs. BUT I’m still visibly seeing passenger side tire with slight positive camber. I knew that was a problem originally because it pulled hard right, swapped one of the tires and it corrected until it wore down too. It’s not as bad as it was but still showing signs on a different set of tires.
at this point, with a bushing with 2.5* of adjustment, what are the odds that the knuckle is bent on the I beams and it just needs to be replaced?
