Gary Lewis Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I installed new HD front springs on OO-BGUB, (4x4) because the previous owner had a 7' Fisher plow on it. Once I took it off, the tops of the tires shot outward. He must have had customer camber adjuster in there cause they just could not get the tire in spec. (or vertical). No matter how they tried, Brought it to another place, right off the top, he mentioned that I must "lower the Radius arms at the frame. He pulled up a kit on-line, and said "no charge for the work done today, we got it as close as possible, but it's still out". Bought the kit, installed it and brought the wandering OO-BGUB back and in 20 min on the rack, she's going down the road straight with one-finger turning, and even returning to center by its self! Even from Ford some were "just not right"...… Interesting! I'd never heard that you might have to lower the radius arms at the frame. How much did you lower them? And was that adjustable? What kit?

Lowering at the rear of the arms makes the top ball joint "pitch back" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reamer Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Thanks, Ron. Hadn't seen those before. Glad to know about them, just in case. These Cams rotate the whole arm separate from the other arm so either tire can be made "vertical" independently... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
