Positive camber after Bilstein install

rtm03862iq · Aug 13, 2017

I've been meaning to post this for a while now, but I installed my Bilstein leveling kit (set 2.1) last year and had it aligned. I was looking at the truck the other day, from the front, and can see that the right and left tires have a good amount of positive camber. Does anyone else's truck have this post Bilstein install?

Mine had pretty noticeable camber but after my alignment they look straight to the eye.

You may just need another alignment. It isn't abnormal for a vehicle to require an alignment after a year.

Did truck handle any better after they corrected the camber?

did you get a copy of the alignment specs after the alignment was done? its very possible they didnt touch the camber.

Honestly, I feel like it pulls a bit now. My read outs look good though

No I didn't actually or if I did, I lost them. It as a good bit ago that I had it done. I'm gonna stop at a reputable place this week and have them check it.

As for the handling, the truck is fine on roads where you don't get above 60 MPH. After that, like on the highway, the truck seems to track strangely, especially while going through curves. Like oversteering.

Sorry for the "noobness", what is camber and what does positive camber mean? I have Bilsteins installed and set at 2.8".

To the OP , I haven't noticed any oversteer issues a little more body roll but I expected that. Pretty much everything suspension/ride wise is new to me. I've had Mitsu Evos for the past few years so driving a truck is a whole new ballgame for me
