Hey guys, I usually have positive camber but after driving over some potholes today, I now have terrible rubbing sound (which I can;t locate or see) and Negative camber! Something is not right but I do not know where to start.

keep in mind this is my Bronco, not my F150, but you guys are a wealth of knowledge and I hope you can help get me started to track down what needs repair.

I was told last week at the alignment shop that they could not help me until I got a new steering box.

It is crazy! But you guys know everything!

Uh oh ! You broke something.
No really, it looks like something broke. Check your - springs, ball joints, pivot bushings and brackets and wheel bearings.
Stick your jack right underneath that big bolt just inboard of the tire that holds the radius arm to the traction beam and lift the tire a couple inches off the ground.
Then wiggle the crap out of the wheel, mostly top and bottom and see what moves.

Thanks. I will give it a shot and see what happens.

Looks like you backed into the driveway. That looks like the standard TTB negative camber when backing in.

I was backing out of that driveway

Holy Cow! That is crazy.

I back in everyday and have never had this camber. I do have a rubbing sound while driving now also. I almost sounds like something is rubbing o the tire.

Uhh, the camber on the White truck isn't normal when backing up. Between my father and I we've had 5 F150 years ranging from 1986-1996 and none of them had camber like that from backing up.

wkbogie

Haha. Yeah, I would think I had some issues if it did that evrytime I backed up. I have never had this issue before.

All of my pre 96 trucks do this. All have new parts, I've deemed it normal due to me replacing parts and not fixing anything.

The white one is more pronounced than normal, maybe because of tires or lift/level, but the way these trucks are designed there will be a slight camber change when backing up. I don't like the way it looks so I always back past where I want to park then pull forward a few feet to get her back to looking normal. If it still looks wonky when parking after driving forward is when I would be concerned, but if it only happens when you back into a spot then you "should" be fine.
