Did you just put the degree bushings that were in it back in it?

Sure did.

I have a zero bushing and some adjustable bushings ordered. I dont know if you have seen them but they are pretty neat. Put a zero bushing in. Comp the machine. Adjust the bushing for the camber and caster adjustment. They usually work incredibly well and accurate.

I have seen them, but have not used them.
I spent 4 years at an independant before the dealer. That was 93-97. Back then you hoped you could figure out what was in it and change it if needed based off that.
They didnt have the adjustable ones then. Or they did and I didnt know it..

When i first started in 2005 there was alot of these on the road. I got pretty good at them but i hadn't done one in probably 10 years till a few months ago. Thats when i was hamded these adjustable ones and they worked great! As long as you start with a zero bushing. Thats the key!

I was just going to get two half degree bushings to fix camber but then cross caster would still be out. Im pretty sold on these bushings as long as they work on my truck properly.

I think the camber will settle in fine.
I keep forgetting that suspension will increase camber with a load on the truck.
Maybe something to keep an eye on if it doesnt seem to settle much.
And depending on how much weight you put on it.
