Camber is off
Had an alignment done a few days ago
Toe in was in spec--yeah!
Castor is off(but front LCAs are on they way)
My camber is at -.7 on each side. from what I read on here..nothing i can do about it?
How much should i worry? Will adjusting my track bar bring it back into spec?
Running 35s with OME HD springs and LT shocks..
Thanks
Steve

Adjusting the trackbar only moves the axle as a unit left and right. It is used to center the tires under the fenders. Adjusting castor will have an effect on camber. If adjusting the castor does not cause enough change in camber, then you will need offset ball joints.

camber is only adjustable via offset ball joints. camber is altered when the axle housing or inner c's bend. it might be advisable to beef them up to prevent further bending with some gussets, sleeves, trussing, etc. or you can go with a beefier front axle is you have the dough for such an upgrade

your just outta spec -o.6, could be a tiny bit off cause of the machine, not enuf to worry bout, but you can get it well in spec with adj ball joints. I did.

He's out of spec by 0.08°, but yes, that's not much, and seems to be a common number for the JK. At the top of a 32" tire, that's out of spec by approximately 0.022".

Thanks guys.. I'll feel better once I install my LCA. my steering feels very flighty. My steering is still a little off(I was driving at 10 & 4 to ge it to track straight), but I'm no longer getting the traction light warning. Could the camber be whats causing it to pull a little?
No signs of death wobble or anything drastic--just a little pull.

I think we should go back and re-check, re-torque everything and get the LCA's in. Also it may take a few more adjustments on the turn buckle to get the steering wheel straight.
