Default caster and camber

i have a 94 f150 4x4 with 4.9l and i ha the alignment done cause it was pulling to passenger side. they also said that camber needs to be adjusted but they wanted $450 to do it so i said no. how hard is it to correct myself cause my tires aint cheap and its wearing on the outside quickly and pulling to passenger side still. where do i make adjustments to fix this?

If its wearing on the outside, that sounds more like you have toe in caused by your tie rods unless they already corrected it, did they say if you had alot of positive camber or negative camber?

$450 price quote sounds more like it needed Ball joints etc. I don't think you're going to be able to just adjust it.

Unless you've got a wicked set of tools and some idea of what you're doing, you won't be able to do this yourself. If you feel confident, you may be able to replace the worn parts but you will still need to get it aligned.
