After i replaced all of the wornout stuff in the front suspension i started to notice some unusual tirewear on the right front tire, on the outer edge. Plan were to take it for an alignment but I bought a cheap Camber tool just to check how bad i was and make some rough adjustments by myself. Right front got around 3.5 positive camber. I have tried to adjust the excenter but its just gets worse. One thing I think is strange, when the jacking up the car, wheels hanging free in the air, I get the reading 1 negative camber. I were sure if lowering a car would get more negative camber, I got the opposite. Pulling my hair here, cant se anything bent, frame and front suspension looks fine. Are there any other way adjusting Camber? Are the spindle upside down? Grease fittings facing forward. The steering had so much play before so the tires were wobbling quite good so I guess The Camber angle were much better back then. All help is appriciated
On most independent front suspension, the camber goes positive as the ride height is lowered. However, you seem to have a lot of positive camber. How is the other side?
Also, you can use the tapered shim plates that are made for '54 to '62 Corvettes. They slip in between the frame rails and the front suspension. Just use slightly longer bolts. C1 1956-1962 Chevrolet Corvette Suspension Shim. Aluminum Front - Auto Accessories of America (topflightautomotive.com)
Never rebuild that era front end so I’ll ask. Do the lower shafts have an offset? as well can they bolt up either way if they do?
Yep, sorry, these are typically used for MORE camber....however, if you put them in with the thick end towards the front, I wonder if it would reduce your camber.? Please let us know how you solve it. Bob
