went to the the alignment shop yesterday and found out that i probly have something bent the guy could not get my right side camber into specs at the full adjustment its still -0.5 degrees out and the caster in out also 1 degree advanced of the left side, so obviously something is bent.

anyone know what likes to bend on these trucks?

 

Any mods done to the suspension?

 

We need more info to help you. But check your low control arm bushings.

 

my truck is running stock parts except that i put Blistine 5100 front struts with the stock spring at stock ride height, these shocks are for a tundra and thus probably valved for some extra weight i carry, which gives me a bit less give, as wells as accelerates bushing wear a bit, my lower bushings have been recently replaced in the last 20k miles, I cant find anything loose, so something must be bent somewhere, I cant figure out what it is the lower control arm does not seem like something that could cause the problem unless its possible to bend the lower ball joint holder, it seems like the upper might be being pushed out too far, but the upper bushings are just fine, and so is the ball joint, is is possible that the spindle tower is bent?

the upper part of the suspension on this truck does not seem to take as much load as the lower, with the strut being pinned between the frame and the lower a-arm most of the load is there, the upper just seems like it does not take as much abuse i cant imagine how i could have bent it......though I have been to some very extreme places with heavy loads mined rock in the bead, if you look at cpizzle42's avatar pick, roads Like that with about 500 to 1000 lbs in the bead for miles for miles and miles, old desert mine roads and nothing but jagged stones everywhere.

any ideas how I can figure out what is tweaked?

 

Call me stupid, but I was helping a friend choose a car to buy, and he was looking at honda civic, the fender looked like it may have been repainted, so we put it on a lift, and I stuck my hand between the strut and the upper control arm(also acts as the spindle on a civic) on both sides, and noticed my hand was tighter on the side with the weird looking paint. Soon after we were told it had been in an accident. Now you might want to use a tape measure, but just simple looking closer at components might get you some where. And I doubt you bent the lower ball joint assembly, it would probably crack before it bent. Maybe post pics?
