To adjust front end camber, you typically need to modify the suspension components. This can be done by using adjustable camber plates, which are installed on top of the strut assembly, allowing you to change the angle of the strut. Alternatively, some vehicles may have adjustable control arms or camber bolts that enable camber adjustments at the lower suspension points. After making adjustments, it's essential to have a professional alignment performed to ensure proper handling and tire wear.
Camber angle refers to the tilt of a vehicle's wheels relative to vertical, and its advantages include improved tire contact with the road during cornering, which enhances traction and stability. A positive camber can provide better straight-line stability, while a negative camber can improve cornering performance by allowing tires to maintain better grip on the road surface. Additionally, proper camber settings can lead to more even tire wear, extending tire life and improving overall vehicle handling.
Mean.
Surely it must be the camber?
A positive camber of 12 degrees refers to the angle at which the wheels are tilted outward at the top relative to the vertical axis of the vehicle when viewed from the front. This means that the top of the wheel is angled away from the vehicle, allowing for improved handling and stability in certain driving conditions. The 12 degrees indicates a significant amount of positive camber, which can affect tire wear and performance.
the bolts in the upper control arm have cams on them to adjust the camber and caster.
yes the camber and caster can be set on this truck. there is a cam on the upper control arm
Adding or removing the shims on the upper control arm can adjust camber and caster.
you can slot the holes where the upper ball joint bolts to upper control arm.
You can adjust the camber by drilling out the spotwelds on the upper strut plates. This will allow you to slide the strut plate in and out to make your adjustments. (been aligning for 13 years).

Dodge Ram two wheel drive trucks camber corrections are made using the slotted pivot bar on the upper control arms. On the four wheel drive trucks the camber is preset at the factory.
Excessively negative camber. Assuming that the ball joints aren't fuxor3d, you can adjust the camber using the cams at the upper ball joint.
You might have adjustable bushings on your upper balljoints, jack up, take tire up, loosen pinch bolt and turn the bushing that holds the upperballjoint to adjust camber. If they are factory/non-adjustable: Get (2) camber adjuster bushings from an auto store. Jack truck, take tire off, you might need to turn the wheel before jacking up so you can unloosen the pinch bolt on the upper balljoint. Just loosen pinch bolt, and pry the old Camber bushing out (if it is OEM its probably not adjustable). tap new camber bushing in and turn to adjust the camber angle.
To set the camber on a 1998 Chevy Metro, you'll need to adjust the upper control arm or the strut assembly, depending on the specific setup. Typically, you can achieve this by loosening the bolts that secure the upper control arm to the chassis, then adjusting its position to achieve the desired camber angle. Afterward, retighten the bolts securely and check the alignment using a camber gauge. It's advisable to have a professional alignment done afterward to ensure proper handling and tire wear.
Using alignment slugs that go in the upper I-beam over the upper balljoint nub. Take stock one out swing caster/camber and install the correct degree slug in the correct position. You will need a alignment machine or if ur old school plates and old caster camber heads and the know how to to it that way too. Take it to an alignment shop!
To adjust the front wheel camber on a 2002 Montero Sport, you’ll need to locate the upper control arm bolts that connect it to the chassis. Loosen these bolts slightly to allow for movement, then use a camber gauge to measure the current camber angle. Adjust the control arm position as needed, tightening the bolts once the desired camber is achieved. Always recheck the alignment after making adjustments to ensure proper handling and tire wear.
Front springs are sagged out, camber is out(kits for upper ball joints available) or something is worn out or bent.
