Setting Camber Really Off

[au672000]

Happy Friday All!!,
Just rebuilt front suspension on my bn4 along with a disc brake upgrade. Had kingpins rebuilt all poy bushings.
Camber seems to be really off.

Trunnion on backwards? (The part that the lever shock attaches to on top of the kingpin)

Using your photo and my iPhone that looks like about +10 deg camber; stock is +1 deg. Have you got, or did you have an offset upper bushing? Was the car in an accident?

Looks to me like glemon may be right. I don't think you can get more than 1-2* out of eccentric bushings.

Ashley,
Did you roll the car forward & back a bit, or is it just lowered off jackstands?

 

[John Turney]

Also, is the drivetrain in the car?

 

[au672000]

Yes, car is just lowered off jack stands. Hoping it settles a bit.

Drivetrain still in car

You have to move it back and forth to settle the wheels into the correct camber. They'll be cocked if you just lower it off the stands without pushing it a ways till the wheels even out.

Please post a pic of the upper trunnion.

The top of the kingpin should be inboard of the trunnion through bolt.

As your fenders are off, you may have a couple of degrees of error there.

Look at the tire relative to the ground, not the vehicle body. I'm guessing that the camber is about +10 degrees.
(I've performed 100's of alignments in my career)

I'm a dumbass! I had the trunnions on backwards. All fixed and looks pretty good.
Thanks for the input.
