Default Need help

Hello I recently got a 1995 Chevy Suburban. When I got it I was told it has the "Death Wobe". I replaced tie Rods inner and outer bothsides. Now I think my camber is off. Help please. Thanks Ross

I assume the death wobble is corrected. what condition exists that makes you think the camber is off?

The tires are sitting funny. The top of both front tires are in and bottoms are out. It has a 8"lift in the Front and 6" lift in the back. It is level.

did you align it after the lift kit was installed?


Did the lift kit come with custom upper control arms? Factory uca may not have the adjustment range to accommodate a lift that high.

inform them of your camber concerns when you book the alignment. the good thing is, with the aftermarket uca, the factory knockouts are most likely removed so you won't have to pay extra to have them taken out. Make sure they provide an alignment printout.

Hey thanks a lot. I will make sure they get me a print out. And am I going to have to worry about this soon? Or will it be ok for awhile? This is my 1st Suburban and 4X4 this high.

the tie rods are a safety concern. the alignment needs to be done immediately after the tie rods or you will wreck the tires.
