Camber adjustable????

[Big Rig]

I was reading an old post where someone said the camber on his 04 truck was not adjustable unless you install ball joints with an offset. I have an 04 truck.

Is this true? It looks like I have a problem where my front tires are wearing on the inside & according to some wheel alignment literature I have read, an improper camber is the problem.

Why would Dodge make the truck where you couldn't adjust the camber & then building the front end so it wears out tires long before their time?

This just doesn't make sense.

I am taking it in to the dealer tomorrow to have them look at it.

I just had a front end alignment on my '06 at LesSchwab. If the '04 is the same, then here's what is adjustable:

Front Left and Right:

Camber

Caster

Toe



Front:

Cross Camber

Cross Caster

Total Toe



Rear:

Thrust Angle



Not adjustable:

Front Left and Right:

SAI

Included Angle

Turning Angle Diff.

Cross SAI

Cross Turn Diff.



Rear Left and Right:

Camber and Toe



There are specified ranges for each, including those settings that are not adjustable. You what those too?

Thanks Skipro3,



I will take your post with me to the dealer. I just noticed that the guys post that I referenced had a 4X4 & mine is 2x, so maybe that is the difference. I just hope they can fix it so I can get more wear out of these tires.

Moog upper balljoints are adjustable, will affect the camber and caster depending on how you rotate them.
