    they use shims for the front camber, so any allignment shop should be able to adjust the camber for ya, or you can try it on your own if ya feel like it and have something to measure your camber degree. the shims go between the upper arm and the mount for the upper arm.

    I got my shocks from NAPA for my 73, i just told em what i had, i think the 88-94 shocks fit, i cant remember though its been a couple years.


    RockAuto Auto Parts is a great site to find random things for your truck, go check it out.

    got any pics of the truck, most people come on here and do an introduction with pics :)

    from the look of the parts online for the corolla im surprised even the springs fit the truck. The front suspensions are totally different, you dont need a camber kit, your truck already has the adjustment, those kits are for when the camber is off and there is no stock adjustment.

    Sorry unless you have independent rear suspension you wont get the rear to camber. If I had to guess he must have used springs from a fwd corolla not a rwd one. Rwd springs have larger diameter.

    lots of cars have them newer supras certain lexus. It will be a huge job though redoing the whole rear end of the truck. Its been done but prob. cost alot of $. And since I don't think you really know what your doing you need to take it to a custom shop to have done. I would do some google and find out what the differance between a live axle and independent rear suspension is before going any further.

    You do realize there is a solid axle back there right....

    Where do you live? How about you sell me the truck and you find a 70s corolla to lower.

    why do you wanna do all independent suspension? thats so much work to try and keep it rear wheel drive and even harder to do front wheel drive

    Thats pretty much what your going to end up doing if you want to do IRS (independent rear susp.) Only way you will get camber in the rear and be able to drive it.

    BTW your posts and questions and what is on your truck sounds really familiar. Almost like it was asked previously. Could be just me though.
