So I broke an outer axle stub shaft and have it all apart to fix that, thinking of making some camber adjustments. Does anyone have any experience with that? I have a custom built front axle housing (9" center, Dana 44 outers). I noticed that it looks sort of funny, the front wheels are in quite a bit at the top. I read the stock speck is 1.5 degrees from the factor, but that was because these trucks come with bias ply tires and roads used to be more crowned than they are now.
I measured mine two ways (using the level app on my phone and with a level and calipers). Drivers side is about negative 1.5-1.6 degrees, the passengers side is negative 0.5-0.6 degrees. This is a curry built housing, so I am a little surprised it is so far off. Does anyone have any idea what the ideal camber should be? I looked up modern vehicles (2004 superduty) and they run positive 0.25 degrees of camber, (-0.75+1.25). I am thinking of using this: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/mev-ms50061?rrec=true bushing to make it as close to 0 degrees as possible. Ideas?
