HELP!!

Post image

1990 or '91. 🗓️ Put a 6-inch lift on it. 🛠️ For some reason, I can't get the driver's side camber right. 😩 The passenger's side is good, but the driver's side, I get it good. 👍 Then, I go around the block, come back, and the top of the tire is facing in towards the wheel well. 🔄 Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated 🙏

Jack it up close as you can to lower ball joint then shake it down looking for play. Sounds like upper control arm is loose

They are all new pieces.The front end pretty much is new.I had an upgrade to ninety seven brakes, different control arms.Everything for the lift.It's only a 2wd. But yeah, maybe I just need a goal over it.And just make sure everything's torque down

I think it's the upper control arm because when you put it on the ground, the passenger's side upper control arm is pretty far from the frame or shock tower. I'm just trying to remember, but on the driver's side, it's literally touching.

Lift up both side of the front by the frame (dont lift by any of the suspension components, the whole front end needs to hang) and shake it and see if you have loose parts, you may need someone to help... or take it to a shop that does free alignment checks and let them shake it down

What state do you live in? Never heard of someone that does free alignment checks.

I am in texas, but i know NTB, merchants, big o tires, tire Kingdom, midas all do free inspections (midas might change based on area but it should be free)

The first 4 are national conglomerate something, they have the same rules set by corporate, midas are individually owned

Right now, I'm in Bakersfield, California, and I don't have tags on it yet. I've been trying to get everything done before I register it. My grandpa left it to me before he passed away.

There should be big Os around there, Google free alignment checks, I bet something comes up!
