I did the old trick where you put the Grand Cherokee rotors and dual piston calipers on a TJ after buying the spacer and redrilling the rotors.
The brakes are so much better with the large tires, but I can't adjust out the Camber?
I've tried different control arms and adjusting the pinion angle but there just isn't enough room to get rid of it. Any ideas. Build cross over steering, maybe?

Thanks for the great Magazine.

wheel bearings or balljoints must be wore out if theres a camber problem.

the camber won't change with pinion adjustments, it changes the caster..
the steering linkage will adjust the toe.

Checked that.
I think the problem is using the steering knuckles off the Grand.
It throws the angle off?
Problem is how do I adjust it if I want to keep the larger brakes?
