Make sure those snap rings under the uniball are there, I didnt have them and the whole peice started to slip under the arm, that wouldve caused a lot of damage.
Make sure you can get your truck aligned too. My truck cant be aligned. The camber is all out of whack and I'm having rubbing issues now.
Thanks,
I had no problems with the alignment and the snap rings were in. If you are having problems with getting your truck aligned feel free to pm me and I can help you out

I sent you a PM on the 13th about this when I first read your other post. I still have not heard back from you. I gave you my email and phone number to help you with this.
All of our arms have the uniballs pressed in then a snap ring inserted. Then they get re-checked as they are getting boxed. I am not saying it isn't possible that a snap ring got left out just 99.999% unlikely that it was left out.

Where did you buy the parts and who installed them?

We do not have any alignment issues with these arms. We have them on multiple trucks and this is the first time I have heard of an alignment issue.

As for the rubbing... Where do they rub?

Do you have the A-Arms on backwards?
What rim and tire combo do you have. Offset etc..
Did you stack lift kits?
I too am having camber issues with the Camburg UCAs. Taking the truck back in tomorrow, for another alignment check.

OH....good, it's always good for the manufacturer to come on and help out the few guys who've purchased the product and have had problems....

All I have done to my truck is in my sig. Arms are on correctly. The tire now rubs on the drivers side inner rear fender well. It did not before the arms were installed.

I bought it from greg, he said he was going to send me some PRG arms and send the camburgs back. I just bought a snap ring from Race Ready in chula vista. Thanks for the help anyways.
Well, Just got back from an alignment appointment. The Titan still has a bit of negative camber, it's slight but you can see it. And the settings are maxed out. Not looking good for my new tires.

I'm running the Pro Comp stage 1, w/ the coilver spacer and Camburg UCAs.. ANy help???
How much camber are you stuck with? If the stock bolts are maxed you might have to go to a different arm.
By no means am I an expert, but the alignment guy said it was about .07 or .7 negative camber. It's visbly noticeable, by front view and on the tread where the tire is not contacting surface.

PRG advertised his new arms the week after I did my install, I'm hoping I can make the Burgs work...
visibly noticeable?? since we have the big wigs from Camburg on here, you ought to be PMing them your name/number to hook up and see if they can compare your arms to others they have in stock, that's a rather large problem for the relatively expensive mod to your suspension.

-.5 is where I like to set up my personal truck. This handles really well in all conditions.

Now when you installed the upper arms did you also crank more lift into the truck? Or did you just install the upper arms?


The Titan trucks align well when we run our bolt in coilovers and our upper arms. The way we designed our upper arms is as a performance off-road kit. 2.5" bolt in coilover with extra travel to go with our upper a-arms. We did not design our upper arm to work with other drop down style lift kits.

Now if you installed our upper arms with a new bolt in coilover on top of your Procomp kit then you might have a camber problem. This is because the geometry in your kit is design where Procomp set its 6" lift. When you crank in more lift then the camber falls in more to the negative side. You can watch this when you jack up your truck.


I would love to help you out. Give me a call at the shop so we can come up with a solution.

What you are saying WAS making sense, untill I remembered most of the lifts RE-USE the factory arm, especially the procomp you mentioned. So how can your arm be any different? Shouldn't it match up exactly with the stock arm?:confused:

If you have a business relationship with this Camburg company, that should be disclosed in any post you make bragging about one of their products.

Otherwise, your credibility is zero. It also leaves a bad taste in the mouths of members who might have been interested if the initial introduction of the product had been put forth to them honestly.
