I leveled my truck in the sig and got it aligned (toe) but the tech said it needs to have a camber kit installed (which they quoted $350 for) to adjust the camber (which is at +3.9 or so on both sides). I just had him do the toe-in since the price seemed a little high for the camber kit install. I just ordered the camber kit x 2 and will be putting them on myself.....it looks pretty easy. I also may want to attempt the camber adjustment myself with a camber level tool. What I don't know is what the right amount of camber is required on our trucks. I get a pull to the right under 50 mph. Above that, it drives straight, but I think the EPAS is adjusting for me at the higher speeds.

-0.2 to -0.3 camber both sides. 4.0 to 4.5 caster. Try to keep caster a couple degrees higher on the right side for road crown. Keep your total toe between 0.20 and 0.30 degrees for better tracking.

Thanks for the great info! That's perfect. I ordered the camber/caster kits, but I'm having a heck of a time finding instructions on how to use it to adjust camber/caster independently. It only looks like there is a nut and a cam in the it. Any suggestions there? After 26 years in the Army, I'm pretty good at following instructions....as long as there are pictures.

They pretty much just slide back n forth in the slot just by rotating the cam nut one way or the other. Ive adjusted mine myself before but the only way your really gonna hit those specs is with a alignment rack. The front camber/caster bolt will mostly be for your camber and the back bolt will be mostly caster.

Did I just waste money on the camber kits? The alignment shop told me I needed them and that I was out of spec, but the sheet says otherwise. What do you think?

aliass24

Do you notice any pulling to the right because if you do its from your lower right side caster setting? Your specs look ok otherwise how's it feel/drive? What camber kit do you have SPC/Moog?

Michael Coppock

I ordered the Moog kits. Yes, it does pull slightly to the right at lower speeds (30-45 mph). At highway speeds, I don't really notice it. I attribute that to the EPAS compensating maybe.

If you have the kits which are really easy to pop on, I would probably just take it back for a re-alignment maybe they won't charge you or if it seems to drive ok and your happy with it then just leave it.

Yeah, I was just worried about tire wear really. I'm not sure if it is out enough to cause tire wear or not.

aliass24

Caster doesn't cause any tire wear and your camber and toe are good to go. Enjoy
