off camber
« on: Apr 09, 2010, 11:23:09 PM »
 :confused: Hi all. i just bought an 84 toyota and the only real problem it has is that the  front knuckles seem to be off camber.  the front tires were worn all lot worse on the inside. i was wondering if anyone has seen this and has some possible diagnosis'? ???

Its more then likely the toe is off.
Dr.Maxwe001 – well i have a 15 gal compressor now and if I gett he 60  and then use the 15 as a reserve that wil give me 75 gal  thats close to 80 isnt it ?

also the trunnion bearing could be completely shot and that would cause the wheels to be tilted.

if so then you would need to buy a knuckle rebuild kit, i would also suggest a wheel bearing kit as well, you can buy them here on this site.

Or and I don't really want to say this, the housing could be bent. If it were jumped at all it will bend the housing at the end of the bell. If bad enough it should be very visible.
