  • 60 camber problem

    Looking at the front of my jeep the front wheels have a lot of + camber. If this from lack of weight or what?

    pics? my friends 80's d60 sits like that

    silly thought, but are the hubs and wheel bearings tight?

      I don't think the weight of the vehicle effects the camber on a solid axle.

        Not the best picture. I read that there are shim that go between the hub and spindle.

          2 of my friends that have 60's swapped in sit the same way

          when you re-built the axle were there shims in it? or is it an aftermarket part?

            There were no shim. I rebuilt the kingpins, new bushing, new lower bearings and races and the highsteer arms are WFO springless arms.

                Ok, I'm not gonna worry about it then unless the tires start to wear really bad. I'll be sure to rotate them a lot.

                      Mine sits like that. wait till you catch it when you park at close to full lock. I always have to double check that my fucking wheel isnt falling off when I do, no joke.

                        I was going to say it was the kingpins but you did that already. Hows the pinion angle?

                          Pinion angle is stock, along with caster, the perches are close enough to use the factory perches on the yj.

                            They do make shims that sit behind the spindle to correct this. I'll see if I can find the link. I have them on my HP44....
