I acquired Jeremy’s 2000 4Runner and I am getting a few things to my liking. One thing he told me about was the RF camber situation.
The truck has aftermarket adjustable upper control arms, offset ball joints and the lower control arms are maxed and still camber is visually positive (with everything maxed to get it less positive)
Truck has Sonoran springs and is lifted but not excessively so. I have had 3rd gens with more and didn’t have camber issues.
Doing some checking it seems the left side knuckle is closer to the wheel by about 3/4” - 1” or so. This could explain the positive camber on the right (although I have no clue how the knuckle could be bent that direction)
Anyhoo, there is not much I can think of to bring the RF camber more neutral other than possibly removing the knuckle and using my press to bend it a little.
It appears forged, any issues with this idea? Should I heat it or bend it cold? Will I die?
