Lift done, now I need alignment HELP.

« 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?

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.

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!
