Hi guys, I need negative camber in the rear to fit some wheels. Is this possible on the back? Or am I limited to massaging the rear fenders? Thanks in advance.

 

Yea its a straight axle. No camber adjustment. 100% straight 100% percent of the time. Ur onlu option is converting to independent rear suspension such as the back of a supra. The money time and fabrication of such a thing will buy u the nicest wheels ever that fit perfect. Or u can get a 4x4 bed that's got about 1.5-2 inches of flare. If ur close to clearing that 4x4 bed will have the room u need

 

That's what I thought. Thank you for the reply!

 

different offset wheels would do the trick

 

oh and to be clear the straight axle isn't truly straight my 79 has 2 deg of neg camber at the wheels so me thinks the axle is sagged a bit, no?

Huh. Cause the actual axle shaft from hub to differential must be straight to work right. It has no joint. So if it were sagging either toyota buikt it that way and the hub is angled in such away but usually camber is due to bent axle and would eat ur wheel bearings up. But im not an allignment guy I just know straight axle isnt adjustable.

 

yea I don't thinks its bent on my truck just made that way my truck had a really easy life before I got it never hauled anything so it must have just been that way but I aligned it last week and it had neg camber on the rear wheels

 

Axle shafts and axle tubes can bend and still operate there common on trucks that have been over loaded or abused . I do about 4 a month at work .if you suspect bent axle shafts jack the truck up and put it in drive or first and let it idle or bring up the speed abit watch the rear rims or drum for trueness . Helps to have good true rims
Vibratins at high speeds and or the shimmys leaving a light .are common Worth checking

No solid axle automobile would leave the plant with two degrees of negative camber that is high in the automobile industry for a rear drive solid axle vehicle most if not all solid rear axles are slightly positive camber and toed in to track straight ..aka anti dog walk Worth checking out wears out diffs and spider gears

IRS rears Are different story

 

Yea buddy yeah IRS soon please

 

irs definitely! i'm going towards that option too

 

it could just be the alignment machine I had it on was possibly miscalibrated or not exactly correct the truck runs and drives fine with no vibration or noise and has about 161k miles and has never carried a load the paint on the bed floor isn't even scratched

 

Well that's a good thing . Although 2 degrees of camber in the back would look cool .
