Is it me or does this look fine? I can't tell if the front wheels look fine or if a spacer related issue might occur.

 

tops tilted in

 

Could be an optical illusion do to the angle that the picture was taken at.

 

I do notice the top is tilted in person as well. What could that be? Is it spacer related? And is it crucial I look into it asap?


Doing some forum searching.. Could this be alignment related? I have yet to get one.

 

It's not the spacers.

Camber issues are much more apparent with taller tires.

IIRC, the factory spec is 2 deg and that is set by the inner C and the steering knuckle. More specifically, the ball joint holes in each.

I use adjustable ball joints (NAPA Premium) in the upper position to set the maber at about .5 deg and then tack weld them in place.

 

Oh OK. I didn't really think it was spacer related, since it wouldn't make much sense that the top is tilted. Are the cambers a pretty big deal? Worth getting it fixed asap?

Thanks!

 

Oh yes! Improper camber will ruin your tires in no time.

 

Ah damn. Are we're sure it's that? How much are talking and how difficult is it? Something I have to take to a shop?

 

It's a DIY job.
Do a search for Ball Joint Replacement. I think there are a few write-up's here.

After they're installed put it on an alignment rack and have the tech. Rotate the joint until the desired camber is achieved, then tack weld to the inner C.

The NAPA joints are around $60-$70 each

 

Alright I'll look into this tomorrow. And this isn't related to not getting a wheel alignment ever?
