Negative Camber

[Tilzbow]

I just noticed my front tires are wearing much faster on the inside. I assume this excess wear is caused by negative camber. I believe it‘s been happening for a long time because even the rear and spare have excess inside wear. I know very little about independent front suspension but also assume the cause of the negative camber is the winch, bumper and after market front skids I added.

My Bronco is a 2020 Badlands 2-door Sasquatch, 2.7 engine. Suspension, wheels and tires are all stock.

I assume an alignment shop can make the necessary adjustments, correct? (Remember I know almost nothing about IFS and alignment.)

Lastly, I plan to upgrade the suspension to full Icon stage 7 or 8 soon but I need to replace my tires sooner.

Thanks in advance for the advice!

Alignment shop should take care of it! I had to call a couple though as one didn’t have the program updated for a 2022 Bronco. Which seems weird.

Wow I can’t get over you having a 2020 model

That's funny, the same thing happened to me; had to drive 25m away because "we haven't loaded it into our machine yet". I just figured they were lazy or hadn't had any (fat chance now), but I guess it's a thing.

Surprised me too! And apparently they can’t do it manually off the numbers in the attachment above. I know nothing about the machines so I can’t say whether it’s true or not

I’m in Colorado enjoying the thin air, locally grown products while sitting in my motorhome and was thinking about its year not the Bronco . The Bronco is a 2022.

It can be done manually, they just likely didn’t know how. I have to do this frequently when a new model comes out before the alignment machine gets updated to current model years.

Do a cheap level kit to counteract the front weight then get it aligned.

You’re probably having toe issues, not camber issues. If you are driving on compressed suspension it’s possible the bump steer is causing excessive toe out or in !

Just a quick update. I had the Bronco aligned last week. Camber was way out, especially the driver’s side, as was toe. The guy who runs the 4WD shop I use, and who’s been in the business nearly 40 years, said the added 200# up front was the culprit.
