I have lowered my 04 Yukon 2/4 and have had it aligned 2 times. The problem is the left front wheel when it is in specs for the alignment cambers in more than the right. Basically when you go to each side it is noticable that the right front tire sits straight and the left front tire cambers in (this is within spec on the alignment machine). Has anyone else had this problem and if so how did the alignment shop fix the issue? Also I do know about the lean issue the trucks have I just want to fix the camber issue in the front left wheel...

 

I do a lot of alignments at my work. Most of the trucks are stock, but what I do for a lowered truck is I adjust for the cross angles to make sure the truck will not pull, I make that the most important thing. Then I look at what each wheel is set at and try to get the camber the same on both sides. I try to set this all up in one adjustment to save time. With the GMT800s (99-07), I've noticed that the stock camber is positive (like most trucks are), this is to allow for the truck to be loaded up and as the truck squats closer to the ground, the camber gets more toward zero and into negative camber for better control over the loaded truck. When its lowered, and I can tell that a load isnt carried very much (i.e. a truck all done up for show) I try to set the camber as close to zero as I can for looks. It sounds to me like you have an alignment tech that just doesn't think about the appearance of your Yukon, Mr.Klean. I would take it back to them and ask for what you want, or shop around for an alignment tech that WILL do what YOU want to YOUR truck.

 

Thanks.. I ended up taking it to a shop that we deal with here at the dealership and they took care of the problem. It only took 3 times for someone to get it right. It came out looking alot better and drives straight as an arrow..

 

Glad you got it right!

 

Good sh*t

 

It took me 3 times to get mine right too!

 

Same problem. I was told with the 24's that my adjustments were "to the stops" and/or "maxed out" Also told "It is what it is"

If I see uneven wear at this point I just have to rotate more often.
Well, I had the drivers side front tire replaced due to excessive inner wear and aligned. Now it looks as if the passenger side inner is beggining to wear uneven. Am I just screwed because of the 305/35/24 or is there a way to correct this. I dont tow so will the above mentioned setting help me out?
BTW the rears always line up well.

 

The rears are always the same because they are on a solid axle. 24s are a bit harder to work with, but the same idea that I said before should get you pretty close to what you want. Also, I've found that there are a lot of guys out there that are aligning vehicles that don't know how to use the software that alot of alignment computers have on them these days. and, that is when you get the alignment tech that tells you that the adjustment is maxxed out (which CAN happen, depending on the method of lowering and even how low the vehicle is) and says thats as good as it gets. I'll admit, I don't even know all the ins and outs of the program that I use at my shop, but I can get a lowered vehicle to drive well and look right, but it may still wear the tires a little funny.
