caster/camber after 4/7 drop on NNBS HELP!
I installed a Belltech 4/7 drop a couple weeks ago. I used the spindles and struts up front. I also installed their 2* UCA bushings. The bushings were a SOB by the way.
I took it to get alligned and the shop said they maxed out the UCA adjustment but could not get it within spec. I called Belltech and of coarse they told me it should adjust out and would not offer any other help.
Have any of you had this problem?
Thanks, Matt

I have ground force spindles and belltech struts and my aligned up perfect without bushings.
My friend has a belltech kit and just needs to order the camber kit to fix his problem. Have you tried a different place?

I havnt yet. I may take it to another one of their locations for a second opinion since it wouldnt cost anything.
I looked at the UCA and it is out all the way so the alignment shop may be correct. Belltech told me that adding the struts adds 2* and that by adding the 2* bushings it should be a wash. He said their spindle has no effect on camber. He has to be wrong.
I wonder if some belltech spindles could be bad.

Yes it effects the camber but not sure why they didn't tell you to get a camber kit to correct this problem.
Like I said, my friend has the same drop and all he needs is a camber kit to fix the problem and then its done. But the shop is wrong saying that even with the bushing that it will not fix the problem unless they fucked up something else while doing the alignment.

I just don't see how you're off that much with everything installed how you're saying its installed. Maybe get back under the truck and just double check everything yourself. Thats all I can think of right now.
