Subject: Front Camber
IP: Logged

Message:
One thing i noticed when i got my Dakota is that my Dakota tends to Push in turns(as opposed to my Ford Ranger which was on the Loose side). Does anybody know if there is any way to adjust the front camber. I noticed my front tires on the outside edge are wearing down faster than they are on the inside.
'04 QC 2WD. No susp. modifications.

Yes - camber, castor, and toe are all adjustable. Sounds like you need an alignment.

Lead, follow, or get out of the way

All I'm looking to do is to add Negative-Camber. Unless for some dumb reason it has Pos. Castor, I don't think that would need to be changed. But to change camber, Is it an easy enough adjustment to do myself or should I leave it to the technicians. And how would i change it?

I think you could make some adjustments yourself, but if you do you can get something else out of spec as well. I agree with Kowalskie you should go to an alinement shop and tell them what the problem is and they should be able to fix it for you. Since you said the outside of the tires are wearing faster it could be incorrect toe adjustment.

Good Luck

You guys are probably right. Chances are i'll probably screw something else up. Thanks for the input.
