To adjust the camber, loosen the inner lower control arm cam-bolt nuts and adjust the cam-bolt to the correct specification. You will need to safely raise the vehicle off the ground to make the adjustment, However you won't get a true reading of camber until the vehicle is back on the ground. I would suggest SMALL adjustments then get BOTH sides checked for the camber alignment.
By twisting the bolts in the lower arm the offset collars on them shift the lower arm in and out to correct the camber.
Castor and camber are two separate adjustments.
Castor is how far the suspension strut leans forward or backwards and adjustment is very limited.
Camber is the tilt of the wheels top to bottom measured across the car. How far apart are the wheels at the top compared to the distance at the bottom. Adjustment depends on the suspension fitted. Like castor, camber adjustment can be limited. So work out which one it is you to adjust.
the camber has to be adjusted on an wheel alignment machine. after that is adjusted, then the "toe in" is adjusted. You cant adjust one with affecting the other. but camber has to be done first.

Dear Leaning, This is what they call a negative camber issue, caused normally by excessively worn or damaged parts.Since this is a 90 Ford Ranger this vehicle has upper and lower balljoits on both front sides.It would be best to inspect these first and make sure there is no play or excessive wear on them, after that make sure your coil springs have not become weakened.When that has become performed the last step would be to get an alignment on the vehicle.If the camber is not still quite in spec then this vehicle will require what they call camber correction slugs.....they install in the upper balljoint sleeve and are capable of being turned around so you can acheive your desired camber setting.Any questions get back to me, I HOPE I COULD HELP!!!
On the 01 there is a camber bushing that goes in the knuckle with the upper ball joint( the factory ones wear out), take it to a alignment shop, specify you want the camber set, and they will be able to provide a shim and install it for you,it only take a couple secs to install, you can turn the aftermarket shim to achieve correct camber.
If you have run out of adjustment, perhaps you should consider replacing the bars. Essentially they are just a different kind of spring and over time they do loose tension. Obviously something is affecting your alignment or the tires would not wear! What I fail to understand is that a shop can tell you it's not mis-aligned if the wheels have an obvious camber problem??!! Has anyone put it on an alignment machine?
