ALIGNMENT PROBLEMS!!!

[1sickcrewcab]

Hey guys i just put new front tires and when i took it to get aligned. They couldn't do it. Took it to two shops, neither could do it. Said my camber is fully adjusted already and there is no more movement there. What can i do to get the camber fixed? More then likey would have to cut and weld stuff, but what?? Thanks

Silly question but I'm assuming the knockouts are already knocked out, would have to be some serious rookies at the shop to not notice.

Your truck just may be to low. You could maybe try slotting the upper holes some to give you more adjustment. Also if you have worn out suspension parts it can effect the alignment.

I aligned my truck at work and it was a pain. I barely got the camber set in spec and im only lowered 4" in the front and had all new front suspension at the time.

I'm sure they would have said something but make sure all components are in good shape. If you still can't get it in spec maybe try http://www.protuninglab.com/88-98-chevrolet-gmc-1500-2500-3500-front-alignment-camber-bushing-.html

I did not even know they made those, I will be ordering a set soon.

Yes someotherguy the tabs have been knocked out. And knuckle dragger I just seen those last night when I was looking for a solution to my problem. Yeah guy at shop wanted to cut and heat control arm mount and bend it straight and open bolt hole wider so that control arm would come out more. Kind of hard to explain but I told him he's weaking the control arm mount. He would need to weld some reinforcement metal.

Lol. I'm gone someotherguy. Then I called a drop shop place and they could sink in lower control arm to get alignment. Or get new upper control arms made which there charging me 400 for new arms. FML

Or hog out the adjustment slots with a grinder. That's how my Camaro is on the uppers and the lowers. Couldn't get the adjustment without.
