camber adjustment

[XploderSport96]

Have have you guys adjusted the camber back into spec after lowering. The 2 degree adjusters aren't enough. I've heard you can modify the upper control arms. The only other thing I can think of is to chop off the mounts for the upper arm, move it out, brace it and weld it back together.

How much lowering did you do? With a regular torsion twist, you can use camber bushings to get it back into spec. Explorer Express has the right bushings, and I think Napa carries them too.

Isn't this the same project that JamesT did on his Explorer? I tried to do the search for you but I can't seem to find it. Sorry.

No he just used a lengthened set of Ranger lowered control arms.

do you just have the factory adjusters in or did you add on the aftermarket ones too?

you cant cut and re-weld the stock uppers. there is no way to do it and make it even remotely safe to drive. you can do this to a set of DJM upper arms for a 98-up 2wd ranger. they are HREW tubing.

I have the 2 degree camber adjusters like the set EE sells. Will the DJM uppers will work on a 4WD sport?
