Not sure if no one has talked about this or I just can’t find the thread. But I got a 4/6 drop on my 04 Yukon (even tho it probably sitting at a 7/6 lol) and the chamber for the two front tires are negative af. I bought adjustable control arms so I would avoid this problem yet I still got it. Any suggestions or comments? 841CDA66-A00C-4DFF-B9CF-D7F607784B52.jpeg

Did you try these: 45K0201/19191017?

These are camber offset bushings that provide an additional degree of movement either way.
camber . I am ocd . I can't help myself. chamber camber i was wondering if a negative chamber was something new i hadn't crashed into yet by way of a broken something

At first I wanted to see the alignment printout after all adjustments but then @swathdiver chimed in with problem solver parts to help correct the problem. BUT, did you have aligned and do you have a printout of the readings. Yes, I can see the negative camber but still want to see the printout.

Plus, you Texas people should know better than to lower a truck. You gotta clear them dead armadillo road kill carcasses after all.

Plus, as @denalilex said, I can't handle sloppy post titles when it comes to spelling errors. Everything starts with the title that catches the eye.

I had aligned right before I took this pics, I don’t have the printouts tho. Front seemed wayyy to low compared to the back so I cranked up the torsion keys a little and that seemed to helped out a lot with the camber (I want to crank them up more but I’m not sure how much or how safe it is. I did get lowering keys when I got the drop installed) I will still be changing out the tie rods cause I have death wobble now :/ and getting that part @swathdiver mentioned. 099768FD-B998-4115-AE6A-B61DD63B88E4.jpeg

Thanks @89Suburban. I cranked up my dropped torsion keys damn near all the way and rotated my rear (meatier) wheels to my front wheels. I also updated my inner and outer tie rods along with the lower ball joints and a couple other small things that needed updating. Here’s how she’s sitting now, negative camber almost gone but not quite yet. Also slapped a HD hood on her ;)

Fixed it. Flipped the upper ball joints and it added about 1.5-2 degrees.
