Ok, i know a decent bit about Nissans but im looking for some more suggestions on how to fix this problem without doing an SAS. I have replaced my UCA bushings(two weeks ago), balljoints within 2 years(upper and lower) and new wheel bearings within a year or so . The tires will lean in and out especially in turns but also while going down the road. I havent worried about it so much until now b/c i just put a new set of MTs on and want to keep them for a while. I have jacked up the tires and they have no play in the except the little bit caused by the idler arm being worn in which i have a replacement for as we speak. I have an aftermarket steering system also. The tires only move in and out at the top, and im about to replace the the BJs again but they dont seem to be worn at all but who knows. Any suggestions? This is pissing me off to know return :icon smile banghead:

double check the uca buhings, the 4 bolts hoding the bj to the uca and the bolts securing the uca to the frame (alignment shops somtimes don't tighten them enough)

And if you haven't done so already...take it to an alignment shop, get an alignment w/ a warranty, and hopefully they'll get it fixed 4 ya. Later...

Do you mean there's something loose? Or is it just movement when the suspension moves? The camber (and toe) change constantly.

Check out the camber when the suspension is fully drooped:

On a flat surface it's pretty much straight.

Did you replace the LBJs when you did the UBJs?

Well i replaced the upper BJs again and i seemed to help my problem a good bit. The passenger side was shot already again. When riding down the road the tires will lean in and out on a smooth road, i have had a buddy ride beside me and watch it. I havent replaced the lower ones yet but i have them when i have time to get to them.
