ml1187 Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) Hello all, I have a 2016 Dodge Journey SXT 3.6L with 2WD. Everytime I go in to get tires they say I need an alignment but then they say the alignment is fine or not adjustable. I read on the forums that you can DIY the camber arms to be adjustable, can someone tell me the exact parts I need to buy to do it? On RockAuto there are several parts related to adjustable control arms. I have done a strut change on my civic before so it shouldn't be too difficult I'd imagine with the help of Youtube. Thanks for any help. Edited January 12, 2020 by ml1187 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 the only part that is non adj. is the the upper rear trailing arm, i kept having problems as well with wearing the inside of my rear tires,,i had them installed and as well i bought a lifetime alignment contract from the quick lane dealerships.i have it aligned or checked every 5 k miles and no more problems...........................this what you might be needing since you didnt fully explain your problem Specialty Products 67018 Trailing Arm for Chrysler/Dodge AMAZON by Specialty Products Company Price: $77.20 & FREE Shipping jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ml1187 Posted January 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 That is the problem I was talking about. Unusual wear on the rear tires due to non adjustable camber. How much did it cost you at the dealer? I'm thinking I can take care of it myself then go get aligned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 they bought the parts and labor i believe it was around 325 if i remember correctly,i already had the alignment lifetime contract so that is about $90. for a 4 wheel alignment,it was winter time and didnt want to fool with it,but looks simple as it is just 2 bolts and nuts to install on each unit, some one said you need to use a strap to hold the wheel straight when removing the trailing link i dont know but looks like it would be so easy and then take it in for a alignment...$77 times 2 plus tax then $90 for alinement and this was not the dealership it was quick lane service shop, which is associated with Ford dealerships all across the country...good luck ps check you tube for any videos on how to replace yours jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
