Ridiculous positive camber after lift spindles install

[AlejandroDinero]

So I put my spindles on finally and once I got everything back together I noticed I had a huge amount of positive camber. So then I decided and remembered I still had my bars cranked up and decided to decrank them and I still have a good amount to the point where I don’t even want to drive it. Just seems really sketchy has anyone else had an issue like this I know I need alignment well I didn’t think things are gonna be this bad. I have probably four or three threads left in the torsion key before they are bottomed out.

Did you roll the car back and forth? I know if you lift the front end. Both wheels off the ground. When you drop the car it will have positive camber because the rubber making contact with the road won’t allow the wheels to spread back out to normal until you roll the car a couple ft

Yes sir, I drove it down from my driveway and soon as I hit the road I got a really sketchy wonky feeling. Just to clarify everything is tightened down correctly and torqued down to spec. I’ll get pics in the morning. I am thinking about trying to adjust the toe myself just so I can make it a mile or two to the shop.

Been there.
It just needs to be aligned.....it should be able to make it to the alignment shop.
I use Firestone. They give you a year of free alignments for $99, just in case you make more changes it doesn't cost you anything to get it re-aligned.
I think they have a life-time option too.

What kind of spindles did you get?

Pics please. You know the rules.

I’ve been looking at their lifetime for 150 with coupon going on right now. I got the kit off Amazon from LAFORMO

Looks nice.

Thanks bud

So I was going to move it last night to the shop and I had to turn around two streets over. This is ridiculous it is completely out of whack where I can’t drive it. I’m gonna have to get it towed to the shop so I can get a damn alignment does anybody know how to do or any adjustments I can make so I can at least get it there

Alignment will affect driveability more than the camber.

Bro,
Your Hoe to totally squatted.....LOL....you should lower the back and join that Popping Clutches Club..I think they are in Alabama....so close by.
Is it 2 or 4WD?

From your pics I can't see the camber.....vertical line of the wheel to the ground...Positive camber means top of wheel is further away from the car than the bottom of the wheel.
Positive camber does result from raising the front suspension.....usually not to the point of making it un-drive-able.
It looks a little toe'd out though, but I can't really see from the pic.

Pretty looking hoe though.

Sorry for the crappy pics here’s better I’ve been stumped with everything. Does anyone have a pfd for installation just want to comb over and check everything again?

By the looks of those arms I would say your in the realm of needing different arms or different spindles.

But there is still not a pic that shows the camber.

I don’t see a gross amount of positive camber in this photo. It should be drivable to a shop.

In your later photos it looks like the arms are nearly bottomed out in addition to the spindle lift. Are you using torsion bar lift keys stacked with the spindles? That’s what it looks like.

In this photo it looks like you may have a wheel to spindle clearance issue.
Maybe its just the photo.
Is it grinding at all?

 

[AlejandroDinero]

Guess who’s Retard moment has just ended? So last night on the way back from a baseball game I started thinking about other problems I’ve seen people have on theirs and BOOM! IT HIT ME! I was reading about people having to trim the calipers and I never did that which means I have a new starting point. People who did have to grind their calipers down where did they have to do it at ?anybody got pics? I feel like putting my wiener in a light socket right now somethings so simple
