OEM Camber Kit?


Recommended Posts

So a while back I got a few alignments done to sort out some weird positive camber issue I was having on one side after a shop installed hangers and front control arms for a 2/2 drop.

 

After a few frusterating trips to a bad shop, I switched to a much better place. They informed me that the other shop left one side loose, and a component fell out or was missing, I'm unsure if it's the camber bolt or not. If it helps the gurus think of what's missing, he said he could 'bolt it down tight while it's aligned, and it should hold for a little while' but also to get the parts ordered asap and get them installed.

 

I looked through the wheels and I can't see anything out of place, but I'm not familiar with these trucks at all, or how alignment components work really. I understand there's a plate that cams around to achieve degrees and I know all about what specs do what, just not the parts that really get it done.

 

I've looked around online but I'm finding just a bunch of aftermarket camber kits and other stuff. Can anyone point me to the right direction to just get the original camber adjustment parts? I don't think the 2/2 drop requires anything aftermarket and I'd rather OEM everyday.

 

Thanks a lot, sorry for my ignorance. It's been a few months and I cant remember exactly what he said was missing, and I can't see anything obvious in the wheel well.

On Chevys look where the cams are on the inside and outside of each side of the upper control arm. You will see the cams themselves and there's a notch cut out for the cams to rotate on a dole pin. That dole pin is very sensitive and will break off if abused. Pretty confident that's what he's talking about but double check and see how many your missing. You will have to punch them out and replace them, pretty confident the Chevy house sells em but we just used some stock we had in the shop and works just fine. Good luck and keep us posted.

Okay, got underneath there and found that one of the cam-shaped pieces is missing from one side.

 

I was hoping it would be the side that seems to be out of alignment since I had it done, but it's not unfortunately.

 

Should be fairly easy to find online I hope now that I know what I'm looking for. Thanks for your help

Just as a followup, in case anybody searches this looking for answers. I picked up 2 sets of a MOOG Camber kit that came as a recommendation. You can search MOOG K100026 to find them.

 

Thanks Doughty08
