    I understand the flipping of the uprights and switching from side to side. Why can't you just flip the spindles upside down also to regain the corrected or closer to original camber angle instead of heating and bending the uprights after the side to side switch ? I know the bolt holes will need to be enlarged from 7/16 to 1/2 inch to accept the steering arms. This seems much less work, and way more accurate than the heating/ bending. If you look at the picture you can see the angle of the spindle to kingpin and upright. Copy the pic to your desktop and flip it to help visualize this. spinup.JPG
