barricade88 Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 I have a 78 Datsun pick up. And was thinking of puting a little camber on the wheels. Do I need to have the ball joints custom made?? Or what do I need to do?? Please help. Thank you And I'm hoping I can make it to Canby!! 1 Quote Link to comment

Guest_kamakazi620 Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 You'll need to swap in a IRS first...... Quote Link to comment
barricade88 Posted June 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Eagle_adam! Where are you located!?! And alignment shims? Where do I get that, and what is it? And IRS? I don't know anything about camber, or what I need. I just know I want it Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 on your upper control arms, there are two bolts. you can remove the two bolts, add some "shims" (i used washers). It will suck the top of the tire IN creating the camber you seek. (this works on the front only...) Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 You'll need a press to bend the rear axle tubes unless you swap in an IRS (independent rear suspension) 2 Quote Link to comment

I don't know anything about camber, or what I need. I just know I want it This is the most ridiculous thing I've heard in awhile. Why are you so desperate to get camber? Because hellaflush? You might want to do some reading up on what camber is, what's affected when it changes, what a solid axle is, and what IRS. 1 Quote Link to comment
Guest Rick-rat Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Sounds like he wants to be a ricer or has lots of money for eating up front tires Quote Link to comment
