Probably something for 4x4Junkie...
Ok, so me and my buddies ripped the old D28 out of my 87 Bii and bolted in a junkyard D35 out of a 91 xploder. Everything went well and it all seemed too good to be true actually. Untill we set it on the ground.
Drove it around the block so it would settle so we could align it. And when I pulled into the driveway my tires were almost literally facing like this "/--\" (front view)
Wheel berrings and balljoints are good, so I was pretty much just sumped.
Took it to an alignment shop and they said it was un-alignable. "The cams had already been turned all the way out" but I'm going to test that tomorrow because they didn't even look under the vehicle. They just saw it in the parking lot and said oh F that lol. Then I took it to 4wheel parts, they quoted me $260 for an alignment. So yeah pretty sure that's not happening.
Is there anything that I can/should do to aid this? This is my DD so I kinda need it back...
About the truck...
It has a superlift 4.5 or 4in lift kit and a 3in BL. On 33in tires. I used the same springs and everything that I was running on the D28.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks, kolton
This is the second time this truck has gotten a D35. The first on was lost in a wreck so I put the D28 back in. I never had this problem the first time.
