Title: Lift done, now I need alignment HELP.
Post by: Cuthulu on September 16, 2007, 01:53:38 PM
I finished the 1.5" lift with Old Man Emu and coils spacers on my 94' Tracker.  I also replaced the rotors with Brembos and new Maxxis brake pads.  However when I read the shop manual it gives a explaination of proper camber followed with a line that says the camber cannot be adjusted on this vehicle. ???  I don't mind taking it to a shop to have it done but I am worried that now I'm  gonna take it somewhere and an hour later get told that it can't be done.

So I ask WTF?

I have to get it adjusted it's got to be at least 1.5 degrees +camber.  Any one have a problem getting an alightment done after a lift?

I took my Zuk to Firestone after my lift and they did the alignment with out a problem, I've got the 11/2" coil sping spacers from jeff1997 with 30x9.5x15 MT, had no issues getting it done

So I did some forum seacrching (like a good N00b should have).  Found out about replaceing the top sturt mount bolt with these ezcam xr camber bolts.  The shop manual does not say what size those bolts are. :(

Anyone know FOR SURE what size they are?  I really don't want to pull apart the front again untill I have a set of these cam bolts.

You can also buy them from www.SummitRacing.com or www.RockAuto.com.  Rock Auto had the best prices last time I looked.

They go by application since they aren't "normal" bolts.  Looks sorta like a 1-lobed crankshaft.

Got the camber straightend out.  :D  Struck out at two Napas for the bolts so I went to a tire place that does lifts too.  38.00 later, had the bolts and was at home fixing the camber.  Now to pay for a real alignment.  Thanks for the tip AJMBLAZER of the rockauto.com.  That is one awesome site.  Can't believe I made it this far in life without that site.

No problem.  Been seeing it in the back of the 4x4 mags for a few years now and never looked at it.

Got pricing shocks and struts for the XL7 a while back and was able to get the good stuff from them for cheaper than the generic stuff locally...with delivery figured in!
Drag link end for my pickup?  $25 locally...$15 delivered on Rock Auto!
