Isn't there a cam adjuster for caster on your control arm connection? As far as camber, you can get adjustable (and greaseable) upper ball joints, but that's some work and $$$.

At one point I was gonna run . 5 degree camber ball joints to get rid of scrubbing the outside corners of my $1800s in tires (on factory wheels, this is a dually so you understand the price of the tires i hope) but then started just slowing down in the corners except every one in a while I will play and see how fast I can take the corners. you shouldnt need camber adjustment unless your doing the same thing as I was. If you should need to adjust camber for alignment issues I would honestly suggest you find a medium/HD truck shop that does the alignments and has axle straight capabilities. Most shops will throw away a perfectly good axle housing simply because housing is bent. when you get into medium and heavy duty trucks they cannot afford that cost or down time, so they straighten and truss the housings. camber makes the truck pull to the left or right and has the same effect as road camber which you obviously cannot change





easiest way to adjust caster is adjust cam bolts on the axle housing. caster makes the steering wheel return to center or not return to center. and also adjust pinion angle.

thanks for the help guys,we drive on the other side of the road,these vehicles have the steering wheel on the other side,so the camber issue is a problem ,who makes the adjustable greasable upper ball joints?
