BlackWd21 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Has anyone had an issue with a massive amount of negative camer after installing the arms. I kept the shins that were already there like the instructions said and the camber is still just insane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5523Pathfinder Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 How much do you have the t-bars cranked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 How much do you have the t-bars cranked?This...The UCAs don't supply any lift, just correct ball joint angles so you can turn the bars up. You still need an alignment once complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5523Pathfinder Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 If the rear is lifted also, I recommend having the front lower by 3/4 to 1 inch than the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 If you need to add more shims, which you likely will, purchase longer bolts for the arms. M14x1.5x60mm. This is 10mm longer than stock. Then you can safely add more shims. Don't add more than 3/8" though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackWd21 Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 Yes the torion bars are cranked but Not an absurd amount. With the jgc coils in the back the front is a little higher but i do have a 33x12.5 spare,a tow package, and a highlift back there weighing it down.when i get home from work today ill get a pick of the camber and post it up for you guys. Im sure i will need longer bolts. Thank you for your guys help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackWd21 Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 I also took it to les schwab and they would not align it for me due to the fact that it has aftermarket control arms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5523Pathfinder Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 (edited) Holy carp! The other side is the same way? I seem to remember someone else having this same problem and they found out the control arms are specific to which side of the vehicle they are supposed to be on(left or right). That is really extreme. How does the rest of your suspension and steering components look? Edited February 20, 2016 by 5523Pathfinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Those t-bars don't even looked that cranked. Something is wrong. Are the uca's on the right side? Maybe you got a bad set? Mine even with no shims wasn't that bad. Can you take pics of the uca installed. I wouldn't even drive it like that to be honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackWd21 Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 ya ill take some pics first thing in the morning. the rest of the suspension components are in decent shape. no loose joints or anything. i thought theyd be on the right side the built in looking bumpstops are above the original rubber ones. and yes both right and left side of the truck are the same way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverton Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 (edited) Holy @!*%! My truck looked like that once with some Rancho UCA's. But that was from Firestone not using longer bolts when they did my alignment, so I lost one of the UCA bolts on the trail. Where'd it go??? I was here: Good times! Anyway dude, if everything is bolted on right, something is bent, it looks like you need INCHES of shims to bring that up to 0 camber. You'll be popular with the drifter kids though, so there's that! Just to add in here. This day is the reason why I will no longer lift a Pathfinder. Dying isn't worth it.

BlackWd21 Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 oh dang ya thats super sketch. theres only like one shim on both sides right now so im sure it could use quite a bit more. heres a pic of the passenger side control arm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverton Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Something isn't right, because the landing pad for the bump stop isn't anywhere near where it's supposed to be. in fact it misses it completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackWd21 Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Ya i know thats what in sayin idk whats going on here. How many shims did they put in yours to get the alignment straight. I dont know if its a lack of shims or i got short control arms or something?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackWd21 Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Here is the driver side. same problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) Something is wrong with those uca. They look way too short. I have the same ones and I needed about 3/16" of shim to get it perfectly to 0. Has your truck been in an accident to your knowledge? How did it look when you bought it? I'll take a look at mine tomorrow morning and snap a picture. It is entirely possible you got a defective set.

BlackWd21 Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 Ok please do that would be very helpful i hope i dont have to take it back apart though. And no i dont its never been in an accident to my knowledge it has veey minimal shims in there and its always driven nice and straight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackWd21 Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 I ordered the set of just the control arms through rugged rocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverton Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I think when I ended up doing the alignment myself it ended up being a few washers. Looks like you need inches of spacer to get that even close. My truck missing a bolt and the other being loose doesn't look near as bad as your truck. You need to get those arms exchanged, they can't be for a WD21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Yea, there's defiantly something wrong with those arms. Looks like you got a bunk set (it happens). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
