I Have a 93 bronco 302 auto 4x4 with 35s I have some alignment issues. The tires are straight but they lean I feel like I need adjustable camber bushings. But I don't know how to put them on. Tie rods, balljoints look good but I know I need an alignment. I can do that, But I don't know how to change how the tire leans /--\ so my question to someone who has installed there own adjustable bushings, could you tell me how or point me to a straight forward step by step?

Thanks
C.R.

The reason I ask about wear is many people experience negative camber with the TTB .. Especially after stopping and backing up a few feet. But when moving forward it dissipates. Most will say it is a normal trait of the TTB and a design flaw and cannot be fixed. I tend to agree with this thought. I searched this problem out and there have been a lot of good discussion about it. If you want to change out the camber bushings plan on changing Bj's get new bushings replace them and take it to a trusted alignment shop.

cupping is normal and caused by Braking... not a camber issue...

take it to an alignment shop the camber bushings are cheap and they will know how much you need....or not
