Hi guys. Im new here but Ive been working on blazers and s10's for years ( including my 383 sonoma )

Here is my problem tho.. I got my mom this 92 blazer about a year and a half ago pretty cheap. When we picked it up it had too much positive camber on the passenger side. So I thought " ehh crappy ball joints " .. well I replaced all four ball joints, and both shafts while that was all torn down.

Anyway, after replacing all the ball joints, it still has this positive camber problem. I took it to a shop and had the alignment checked and they told me its within specs. I dont believe it really because its wearing pretty good on the outside edge of the tire also driving in front of it and looking in the rear view... you can really tell.


so what are your opinions ?

Well now that you know the balljoints are all good, what about trying to wiggle the tire to test the wheel bearing?

 

Wheel bearings are good, and the arm bushings dont have any play either from what Ive seen. Guess I should have included that in my op.

Ive been all up in this thing, and I really am puzzled why it would be out like that and still bring a good alignment check. I would just adjust the cam but I really dont think I could get it where it should be by myself.

 

id say take it to a different shop and have them check it, thats definately not right!

 

Could you have a bent control arm? That could give you some camber...

Then again...all this should be indicated by the alignment....x2 on a second opinion

 

Yeah I probably should take it somewhere else. Was kind of hoping to avoid another alignment check fee tho ... I actually just got done wasting $450 getting the intake gasket on my '97 replaced..... stupid thing blew out on me quite a ways from home

It might be a couple weeks before I can afford to have her truck taken in, but when I do Ill post back what they say...


haha.... if it comes back within specs again im going to make the guy stand back and look at it and tell me its sitting the way its supposed to.

 

I can see its off in the pics. I just did new BDS upper control arms and torsion keys on mine, i got it closer than yours by eye. lol! Take to a good shop for alignment
