Probably a really stupid question... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm new to solid axles in the front.

Looking at my D60 today I wondered how a front end alignment is done. Is it safe to assume the camber and caster are permantly set by design? It seems to me the only adjustment available it toe in.

If I'm missing it, please educate me.

Thanks

There are ways of adjustment but basically its toe and go. There are shims that go in between the spindle and knuckle, however are rarely needed. You can use.pinion shims to adjust that if needed.
