    Horrible alignment problems continued

    A shop is doing the alignment. The Nubs were grinded flush with the cams to allow full movement, the bolt head does not hit at all. The caster is positive, and the camber is negative, neither of which are in spec, and will not get into spec. Weird thing is the truck isnt that low. I dont...

    Horrible alignment problems continued

    Also installed a KYB steering stabilizer which didn’t help the alignment issues but sure helped the quality of the steering feel overall.

    Horrible alignment problems continued

    I’ve posted many times before about my 2001 tahoe. I assume I am a very picky person at this point, but it doesn’t seem unrealistic to want a perfect alignment on a what I consider slightly lowered truck. Current setup is Belltech drop spindles, Belltech drop keys, Belltech front jounce...

    Flipped upper control arm- balljoint angle

    https://www.belltech.com/extras/docs/BBGC/2508.pdf For the guys still curious about this. Here are the updated instructions from belltech. I have to do this mod so I can correct my angles.

    2019 Tahoe: front calipers with pads, front rotors and rear calipers and pads

    How is the stopping power with the 16” front brakes compared to the 13” factory? Let me know about the shipping cost when you get a chance. you can use a website called “ship nerd” I have found that they are considerably less money than going straight through ups or fedex. You can quote a...

    Negative camber only in reverse?

    The cams are literally maxed out against the little "tab" it will require cams with more travel. I plan to order the belltech cam kit and see how it goes from there.

    2019 Tahoe: front calipers with pads, front rotors and rear calipers and pads

    for sure. So you have basically a complete front brake setup, and rear calipers, all id need is some new rear rotors... let me ask you, did you upgrade to the GM brembo kit or what did you upgrade to?

    Negative camber only in reverse?

    I’ve had the whole lower control arm off, inspected the bushings. No cracking, looseness or wear. I’m going to try and make a video in the morning of the suspension as I roll backwards. Hoping to find the answer to my problems soon enough. I think to get the alignment back into spec I will...

    Negative camber only in reverse?

    One problem this truck has had for many years is it tends to "hop" or skip while turning full lock. It will always squeal when on smooth pavement doing a sharp turn, especially on fresh parking lots. I spent weeks researching it, most people on this forum found their fix was the center link was...

    Negative camber only in reverse?

    i removed the lower arms, bushings are in near perfect condition. i did compare both new control arms. They are identical to the originals in length, the offset bushings are installed with the offset closest to the engine which makes sense it would push the camber more positive. However it did...

    Negative camber only in reverse?

    My camber in reverse issue is still there after the alignment. I installed the moog problem solver control arms. As they are “supposed” to give 2 degrees of positive camber. I was expecting my camber to be around 0 degrees maybe .5 degree.... here I am. Same ride height, offset control arms...

    Negative camber only in reverse?

    I follow what you’re saying. I had LESS camber before installing these arms. I had negative 1.8 degrees driver side, and negative 1.6 degrees passenger side. everyone says the offset faces the engine. Which is the way they are in. I did not install the bushings. They are moog problem solver...

    Negative camber only in reverse?

    here are the cams. working from left to right. Outside being closest to the front of the truck, inside being closest to the rear axle.

    Negative camber only in reverse?

    Offset bushings are installed correctly. 100% sure. They were installed in the arms when I purchased. I marked everything with a paint marker before disassembly, reinstalled exactly as before. The adjustment cams are maxed out, I know that for sure because I tried adjusting them previously...

    Negative camber only in reverse?

    Here is the alignment report guys. Even after installing the moog control arms with offset bushings, camber couldn’t get into spec. they recommended drop spindles which I already have. The truck isn’t even low (to me) and they can’t get it right. I had less camber with stock keys, at the...

    Negative camber only in reverse?

    weird as hell for sure. I have quadruple checked everything, and can’t figure it out. it’s at the alignment shop today. I’ll let them tell me if there’s anything crazy

    Negative camber only in reverse?

    one big thing I forgot to mention, the front ride height decreases about 1” in reverse as well. Maybe the toe is so far in, the wheels are being dragged while in reverse

    Negative camber only in reverse?

    Absolutely. It’s going to the alignment shop this week. However I wanted to make sure there was no major problem before doing so. I do all my work myself other than alignments as I don’t have an alignment rack. im certain the toe is off, but camber and caster are within specs according to my...

    I’ll upload a better video maybe with the camber gauge installed.

    Negative camber only in reverse?

    Truck has not been aligned yet, it was aligned a week ago. I had 2 degrees of negative camber, caster was perfect, toe was perfect. I installed the moog problem solver upper arms which offer 2 degrees of positive camber. the wheel sits perfectly level now according to my camber gauge which...

    Negative camber only in reverse?

    I can tell you for sure the cam bolts are tight. What I’m thinking is the torsion keys are causing the issue, almost as if they aren’t supporting the weight of the truck as well as the stock decranked keys were. It’s sitting at the same height as before. 31 1/2” front ground to fender on a...

    Negative camber only in reverse?

    here’s the deal, I got finished installing the suspension Friday night, Saturday morning I was dialing in the ride height by adjusting the keys a few turns. Every time I backed out of the shop to measure I had crazy camber. I’d go drive it, pull back in, wheels straight as an arrow. I have...

    Negative camber only in reverse?

    I just rebuilt my whole front end, using new moog upper control arms, with offset bushings with new balljoints, new lower balljoints, new GM pitman arm, idler arm, new inner and outer tie rods. I switched from stock decranked keys, to belltech keys was the only “change” truck is lowered 3.5”...

    Lowering kit help

    Brandon, these torsion bar trucks take a few good bumps and a few minutes of driving to settle down. take it for a short drive and then report back to us.
