bad camber on 4x4 3500
need a link for adjusting the camber on my '02 3500 4x4 . Recently purchased it for a song !!! The camber is way out on the driver side, and have never set it on a 4x4 before ! Thanks for any help to find this info . B.T.W. bought it from an older lady in the carolinas who hard wedged it in an ATM lane at the bank !! Pretty sure it didnt just knock itself out !!

As far as I know the only way to adjust camber on these is to replace the (upper) ball joint with an adjustable one. My truck has one on the drivers side, I think it's an off-center sleeve that replaces the tapered hole. Might have to drill out the knuckle? Not sure on that, but I do know it takes a standard ball joint now.
Also don't know if it's different for 02's come to think of it, they had different ball joints on the last of the 2nd gens. You don't get a whole bunch of adjustment out of it, so if it's really bad might need to swap out the knuckle and/or axle for a straight one.
Good luck.

Thanks for the input gorms ! Looking at the truck , looks like the ball joint has been replaced before. Upper looks way different with a shim under a castle nut , but the same on both sides. Have done a few 2 wheels , but not 4x s !! So not really sure what to look for ! Makes a lil sense about the adjustable ball joint, but would be lost about drilling! Thanks again , that gives me a start looking point! May understand more as i go along!!!
