After installing all new suspension, brakes, and steering, my front alignment is no-where close. I don't need it to be perfectly correct, becuase it is not driving or going to be soon, I just need it in the general ballpark. However, I have some weird chamber issues that I need somewhat resolved so I can get clearance and everything ok. Example, currently I'm running 5/16" spacers to clear the UCA's, but if the chamber was correct, it probably wouldn't even need the spacers.

My driver side chamber is ok, its pretty much up and down, but the passenger side has some hardcore negative chamber (top tucked in while bottom pushed out). How should I correct this? The chamber bolt is set at the same (close to same) adjustment as the driver's side.

Currently becuase of the angle of the tire, the tire is about 1/8" from hitting the UCA. The tire has short ****, but some of them even graze the UCA, that's how close it is....

And also, the bead of the wheel hits the UCA, but only the front half of the UCA. So, a sharp right hand turn the wheel hits on the left side, and on a sharp left hand turn the wheel hits on the right side. Should I mark the UCA with a marker and grind it down a bit?

Well, first of all, it's camber, not 'chamber.' I thought you were talking about combustion chambers, hehe.

Camber needs to be set independantly for each wheel. Ignore the bolt position, set it to where it needs to be. If it's way off, you should probably take a look at your UCA mounts to see if they're loose, and also at the ball joints.

I'm going to assume you meant 4.5" backspacing, not 14.5. Assuming that, you shouldn't be getting any wheel rub on the control arm (if your camber is set properly). If you are, it might have something to do with that Granada conversion. I'm not familiar enough with it to be sure.

 

I've been fiddlin with it for alittle bit now. The driver since might be slightly negative, but not much. The passenger side is like an inch or so...

 

Camber isn't measured in inches, it's measured in degrees. You can pick up a camber gauge from Harbor freight, or see if you can find an angle finder at a hardware store.

 

No, it's not important that I know the angle, I'm just trying to get this in the ballpark..
