Front Suspension

Well it was finally time for me to look at doing soething about the front end of the truck. I had too much negative camber on the drivers side front wheel. The bushings went on the upper control arm. So I took the arm off and put an offset shaft in it. Between that and the new bushings looks like my camber issue is fixed! Off for an alignment tomorrow!

The spring that came out of the truck I wasn't able to put back in - it was really long, couldn't compress it enough. finally found out it's about 2-3" longer than the spring that's suppose to be in that front end - so ordered new springs. So now I have to swap the other spring - pulled a compltely different size spring outta that side... Glad I got it fixed up - but honestly this project I didn't enjoy at all. First thing I've tacked that I really didn't like. But I learned a lot again and truck is a little bit better.

What front end do you have in the truck?
And I was thinking you were not driving it so I was going to offer to hold onto it for you.
