Torsion Rod Alignment Question
I thought I would put this hear instead of the suspension forum since it applies to our years more...
A few months back I lowered my panel with dropped rear springs and loosening the torsion bars. This obviously made the camber way off, and Im going thru tires REALLY fast. The problem I have is that there is only 1 alignment shop I've found that will align it, and they are VERY overpriced. I went and took some very rough measurements of the angles. Since I don't have a flat place to park the truck, I took the measurements by comparing front wheels to back. My front passenger wheel is 7 degrees out at the top compared to the back. MY drivers front is 0 degrees out from the back. Also, the passenger wheel has a 1" spacer that is coming out as soon as I get some longer wheel studs. So what do I do? 1. Fork out the money, and hope they can get it close enough. 2. Raise the truck back up until I can get the money together to lower it correctly. Money is VERY tight right now. 3. Try to align it myself..... Here are a couple pic if they help: you can see how far out the front wheels lean: ![]() shims: ![]()
