Camber issue after Tundra front???

[Fochps]

Anybody here have/fix a camber problem after the Tundra lift on the 3rd gen? Tops of the wheels seem to be being pushed out. Not sure if its an upper control arm issue or what.... Thx!

This is a known issue. You alignment shop should be able to get the alignment at the far edge of the camber spec, but your caster will forever be out of spec unless you replace the upper control arms.

Than how are some achieving larger lifts?

Whenever you change the height you have to get an alignment. Raising the truck will create more positive camber (top out); lowering will create negative camber (bottom out). It will probably also change the caster some, and will change the toe-in/out. It's probably well within the range of adjustment, but the fact that is changed is normal (what it's supposed to do).

Are you not having rubbing issues as well? Some guys I believe, just deal with new handling issues. Everyone else has gotten some New UCA's from FatBob's garage or having toytec price match.

Doesn't really rub. I'm well aware that the camber changes, I took it to get aligned and it runs fairly straight considering. It seems to have an odd amount of positive camber even after. Just seems like its going to wear my tires on the outside pretty fast.

The Tundra lift only gives 2" of lift, well within range of stock suspension components.

The Toyota spec has a little positive camber (+/- .25 or something like that) so maybe you're noticing that. If it's too much, take it back. With the Tundra lift it should align easily, unless your arms have been bent or something (wrecked?). I have more lift than that and mine lined up fine. My old T4R wouldn't get enough positive camber (had been wrecked and bent the control arm).

Cool! I'm going to try a different alignment shop.
