Camber and Toe issues after lift

[DW_eagle]

Any suggestions? My caber was aligned "to spec" by Pep Boys, but the wheels sit like this when parked or after turning sharp.

When I drive, they straighten out and are fine. I am not so much worried about the tires wearing as I am about having possible serious suspension issues.

Also, my steering wheel does not sit straight when the wheels are straight, it is a bit to the right, so its a PITA when driving down the highway. Any suggestions on how to fix this myself? Pep Boys also told me that my inner tie rod is wearing out, so that could be why the steering wheel isnt straight.

And for the record, I will never go to pep boys for service again.

The truck is:

1998 Explorer EB with the 5.0, 2WD
Off brand 3" Spindle Lift
Full TT
Rear AAL, and Warrior Shackles

Did you get a real alignment, or a cheap alignment? The difference is that most shops that do a cheap alignments, only adjust the toe, and never touch the camber, or caster. So that might be your issue.

they did a full alignment, even installed a "camber kit" to further align it

OK, well there goes my input. Just in case, check out if Camber Kit washers are pushed back toward the engine block. If they are not you may be able to adjust the camber a little bit more. But I suggest talking to them about it first.

Ok, thanks for your input, i will look into that for sure

You should have that inner tie rod looked at, you'll never get a proper alignment or good road tracking and tyre wear if there's any play in it.

Toe misalignment is worse than camber and it looks like you have both.

the camber is way off on both wheels as i said on facebook,, it needs to be fixed,

that will also affect the toe , as they adjust the camber, it will pull the tires in and have to reset that as well,
if the shop said that was correct, it may be time to find another shop,,

Thanks to all of you for your responses, It was Pep Boys, and never again will I go there for any service. I got a recommendation for a fellow EF member who lives near me, so I will be going to check out another alignment shop that worked on his Ex with the Spindle Lift and TT.

i have 0 degrees camber on my wheels,, it seems to work pretty good , been that way for about 20,000 miles, and all good,,
i also have the caster set at 1/2 degree lead on the passenger side to account for the road crown, so it doesn't pull left or right,,
Toe in, is at 1/8 in,works good,
no pull, and doesn't wear out the tires,
