Re: 51' 3100 build in PA New to Site

Based on the BEFORE and AFTER "Toe" reports I'd say your Toe angle was a 1/2" OUT! and that was amplifying your camber issue.

Toe looks good now at 1/32" on both sides.

This is obviously a camber issue and the reports even show that they are still not true'd to within what I call OEM tire specs.

The camber should be set pretty close to absolute vertical for your truck. Since you wont be doing any heavy cornering and imparting lateral G forces on the front end. That is the only reason to have negative camber setups so that the wheel stands vertical under heavy load in a turning condition.

You have negative camber and thats why its wearing the inner edge of the tire. If your camber cannot be set to vertical in its present suspension installation then you need to re-adjust how your a-arm mounts are installed so you have proper adjustment of the camber through its entire range.
