Too much positive camber on stock suspension

[elwood_]

A few months ago I bought a fleet truck from a company for cheap. It has 270k miles but seemed to be maintained well and runs good. The positive camber was noticeable just by looking at the tires from the front of the vehicle.

 

The tires were severely worn on the outside edge so I decided to get new tires and have an alignment. The shop adjusted the camber as much as they could and they're still positive Passenger: .85 & Driver: 1.42. It's much better than before but still not close to specs.

 

The adjustments are turned up as much as possible. The ball joints have no play, all bushings are good, stock rims/tires and no known major wrecks.

 

The shocks have been changed but i don't know what else was changed.

 

Any idea how i could get the camber into spec? Lighter springs in the front, maybe??

no mention as WTF year we are talking about ,,

 

torsion bar suspension height (Z height) must be done first ,then the rest of the alignment

 

 

yes ,someone may have "cranked up" the torsion bars

Sorry, it's an 05 single cab Sierra 1500 2x4

If its 2WD, it will have the coils that you will have to replace in order to get the correct ride height (Z height). If it is 4WD then you will need to replace the torsion bars because they got "tired" either from the miles and weight, or from someone cranking them causing added stress. I've had to replace my torsion bars in my 02 1500 at 317k miles because you could actually physically see them torqued out of spec. So in your case, you will have to replace the coils, which is not hard at all. just a couple of nuts and some bolts. Hope this helps!
