    Can't get enough neg camber?

    I am trying to do the alignment on my 600, and I just can't get enough negative camber on the driver's side. I have made my own camber gauge out of an electronic level and piece of metal. I can't get it closer than +2* or so.

    I have a 91+ front suspension on there, so could that have something to do with it?

    what's the other side able to get? is the car parked on a dead nuts level surface? Maybe the kframe isn't positioned properly? 91+ front suspension on what? Not everyone knows everyones cars or # of cars. Need to be a bit more specific.

    Im thinking the k-frame is either shifted all the way to one side, or possibly the arm or frame are bent a bit from a past incident.

    Dont push the red button.You hear me?

    The car is my 600 vert.

    The other side can get to about 0*. The floor is about .1* off. How would I check to make sure that the K frame is positioned properly? I just bolted it up there.

    What is preventing it from further neg degreee? Is the strut body hitting the spindle? Did you slot the spindle holes? Camber top bolt working or just spininng? Details Brian...

    The strut body is not hitting the knuckle. I haven't slotted the knuckle and would like to avoid that if possible. I did slot the strut on the bottom and it seemed to help some, but I am running out of meat there.

    There isn't a camber bolt on this one, just the two "forked" tab bolts on each side.

    Re: Can't get enough neg camber?

    I just read something in Rbryant's camber plate thread about different styles of spindle allowing different camber.. could be you've matched up the strut and spindle that together would allow the LEAST amount of negative camber? Could be a parts mixup.. ive gotten over -2* on both sides of my dynasty without modding anything.

    That very well could be. Is there a photo comparison out there anywhere? I'm pretty sure that I have the whole front suspension out of a 92 or so Shadow including the K frame in there. Since I got it at the yard, who knows if that car had this same problem.
