solid axle camber

Well I've searched all over and cant get a definitive answer to my situation. I just got some new tires and went to get an alignment. The tech (who is very trustworthy) told me my camber was off and I needed a "camber kit" to correct it. It sounded like it was a kind of shim but I have no idea what he was talking about. The print out he gave me of the current specs says that my Camber L : .5* pos/ Camber R : 1*pos / Caster L : 3.25* pos / Caster R : 3.5* pos / 1/16 toe in. Then it says I have to find a camber kit or "trunion" that they didn't have. Can anybody help me?

Never mind. My alignment guy was holding my 85 4runner to the same standards as the bmws and classic cars with $1200 tires for some reason. Camber was perfectly in spec to the FSM, he said 0 camber would get better tire wear

Aside from signing your tires there is no kit. New trunion bearing idk what dude might have meant. If your bearings in your hub are bad your camber will be off.. i have the same issue looks like a knuckle rebuild should be in order soon
