Camber question 94 D90

[teledan]

We (my brother and I) are getting close to putting our D90 on the road after a frame up rebuild and we noticed that the Camber is noticeably off (negative). We had our swivel balls castor corrected for the radius arms and 3" springs. We did not have any issues before we installed the suspension components, the axle housing is in good shape and I am pretty sure camber is not adjustable. Does anybody have any ideas? I don't think it would be possible to install the swivel balls upside down, would installing them on the wrong sides affect this? I will try to get some pics but it is pretty noticeable just eyeballing it.

At first glance, I'd say whomever corrected the swivel balls made a calculation error. You don't need to have that done for a 3" lift. I only work on Defenders and have never fit them when doing a lift this small.

That was my first impression as well, all they (RTE) did was slot the holes in the flanges though. I wouldn't think that this would affect camber, would it? RTE suggested that we do the swivels in conjunction with their radius arms, we probably don't need to but we want this truck to be a comfortable driver.

Ha, my bad. I need to learn to read , I thought you stated the castor was a mess....sorry. You don't need the new balls though with that amount of lift, it's a marketing ploy.

No Worries. I just looked at some pictures of the truck before my brother rebuilt the swivel balls and it looks straight, Im not exactly sure of what all he did but maybe something went on wrong, Ill have to ask him.
