'69 KL60 Camber issue

Bottoms out? Shimmies? Shackles, springs, shocks, steering linkage etc. The old messages from the NPCA 'Suspension' category are here.

'69 KL60 Camber issue

Post by npca-jjones »

I need some help figuring out why my front tires are toed in at the bottom and out at the top (Camber).  It is wearing the heck out of the outer portion of my tires (15" radials) and the book I have says that the camber is set at the time of manufacture and cannot be adjusted.  However, it is visually out of whack and just plain hard on tires.  Any suggestions would be helpful.  Thanks.

I had the same problem on my 69. I put new shocks on and it straightened right out. I had the front end checked for allingment and it was fine.... New shocks worked for me I hope that helps.

Worn out springs can cause that problem, too.
