Camber On A 66
Not having any luck with this in the search function... Looks like I've got a front-end camber issue on my 66. Is this something I can deal with on my own or would I be wise to take it to a shop? What's the process? Would appreciate comments from anybody with experience/insight.

Re: Camber On A 66
 If your truck has static suspension then spend the money and have somebody do it right. You can get it close on your own but a shop with an alignment machine can get it much much closer and give you a warranty.

Re: Camber On A 66
Speedway sells a tool that allows the home user set the caster/camber of a vehicle. It is magnetic and connects to the drum or rotor face after the wheel bearing dust cap is removed. It is pretty easy to use and is really good for getting the caster/camber dialed in just where you want it. Alignment shops have a pretty wide tolerance to set to and for performance/bagged vehicles it is night and day in regards to the handling characteristics to have it set right. With that said it's important that you completely understand caster/camber before you start or you will go crazy adjusting and get nowhere. I have one and love it.....
