I wonder if anyone knows of a shop near Patterson that can line up a frontend? My right front wheel is leaning in at the top. If I had seen it before today I could have had it fixed here.

Hey Dan;

What!! Did something loosen up on the new front-end? Something
break or bend? I plan on getting one of those pretty soon so am
looking to see if there are any weak spots or installation tips. Can
you drive it? Gotta let us know.

Dan, that is a camber problem. The fix is probably offset control arm
bushings to lengthen the top A-arm to push the wheel closer to vertical. I'd
check with JimK before going to the shop.

Thanks

Thanks. I called Jim. We will fix it at Patterson. It drives ok. Mite wear the tire but the fronts are next to replace anyway. We have driven it this far so I am not worried about it.

Dan--I assume when you got the 1 ton front end they set the alignment. There's no feasible way that would change on you that quickly. If something was loose, it would probably move towards negative camber.

Thanks Bob. We will get it back right at Patterson. I could not find anything loose but I am sure something is.
