Default do i need c gussets already

Just installed 35 on my jku. Had a slight shimmy in the steering so I had the tires rebalanced. They checked my alignment and told me my camber was off. The scale on their sheet goes from -0.6 to 0.1. I am past the -0.6 side but just a little bit. The old tires I took off had no uneven wear. Thanks for looking. It is the passenger side front that is off

Gussets are never bad to have especially with bigger tires. Your problem could be related to your ball joints so you may want to check those as well to make sure they are not shot as this will throw your camber. Good news is they are replaceable and they are even available adjustable so look into this first.

Thanks for the advice. I did just replace them both on that side a couple months ago. Gussets will be put on the list though

Did the rebalance help the shimmy in the steering wheel? I've got the same thing around 40-59 mph. I think it a balance thing just haven't had the rechecked yet.

Helped some. Have heard that spacers which I do have because of stock rims can cause some also. It isn't as bad as it was. Have not tried higher speeds yet. Will report later about 50+ mph.

Retorque the trackbar. This worked for me. Just my .02 cents

Even if the camber is out of specs I've never seen that cause a vibration

Does this occur on all lifts or just when it's above certain height? I'm getting ready to put in a 2.5 and wondering if it will happen to me.
