2" hbs and zone help

[gradall]

At 1000 miles on my 2014 1500 I put on the hbs 2" pucks. It rode fine for about 500 miles then I started feeling a loose busy feeling in the front end, but I didn't think much of it. As sometime went on and the miles piled up (3000 to be exact). The busy feeling got unbearable. I came here and found out about he bj issue and promptly ordered zone uca's. The install went great just under 2 hours (no sweat) I got the alighnment checked (stupid ntb) noticed my camber was 5 degrees but couldn't get them to work on it. ( time constraint). Now the busy feeling is back. Not even 200 miles on the zones. I can feel every single bump through thesteering wheel.

Anyhow could riding around on those bad upper ball joints for about 2500 miles have messed up the lower ball joints? Could the the excessive camber give a lot more road feel? Everything seems tight. No weird noises or thumps just a lot more feeling in the wheel. ( not the nice numb feeling when I first got it). Btw I'm running factory air pressure in thestock wheels and rims.

Whats the 5 degree camber do?

 

[gradall]

I was trying to find out if the 5 degrees of camber would contibute to the excessive road feeling in the steering wheel. I didn't ask for it, ntb left that much in it.

 

[UneasyJmitchell]

Yeah, thats why I was asking about it (camber). I have recently added a 2.5 lift, but all seems fine (knocks on wood) after the alignment.

Might help to know if its positive or negative camber. If the wheels aren't riding like they should though, makes sense it might ride a little rough. Not sure what 5 degrees would do, but your riding on the inside or outside of the tire.

The outside of my tires are feathering so the top is out more than the bottom.

yea that's gonna make your steering a little funny. does it feel like your all over the place when driving ???

I drove my old 08' MazdaSpeed3 with Negative Camber for the suspension / stanced look, and it felt as if I was riding on rails, the steering was very tight, and responsive.

putting all that weight / steering load on the outside of the tire, is like trying to run full sprint on your tip toes. its just not going to work. I think you could get another alignment opinion.

 

[gradall]

The issue I'm having is I can feel a lot more road harshness through the steering wheel.

 

[Caldwell]

I think you just need a better alignment.

Makes sense you feel the road a lot more. A bunch of your weight is riding out towards your sidewall.
