Hello there Guys,

I am writing this thread on behalf of a friend as he dont know english and I hope I get there right!,

He owns a 2004 4.5 Shorty patrol, he is having a front tires problem, the problem is similar of what is called wheel alignment. He said to me that his front tires is having a V shape! which means both tires having a bit of inner angle at the bottom while an outer angle at the top. (hope I explained it right :redface: )

Question is, what could be the problem? and what are the ways of fixing this problem? in better words, what is the best thing to do to fix it?

Thanks :salute:

Aziz

Good day Aziz.
It look like your friend's Patrol has a lot off Positve camber in the front.On the Patrol you can not ajust that.But you could fit caster bushes on the radius arms.That should push the wheels to a zero camber,by tipping the diff backwards.The car will have more caster,but that is a good thing if the car has a suspention lift.If you tip the diff backwards and the camber goes from positive to zero,the toe will be toe-in,and that can be ajusted.
Make sure the diff is not bent.
Hope this helps
Frans
