  View original topic: 67 Bus Camber changes from forward and Backwards

Hello everyone, my 67 Bus front camber changes from positive to negative when I go from forward to backwards. Anyone able to help. I replaced link pins and they seem to be solid without play now.

King pins good and without play? Wheel bearings good and adjusted ? Inner races tight on spindle?

Thanks for the reply. The link pins and bushes are good. The ping Pin seems tight but I will check again tomorrow along with wheel Bearings. Any chance it has something to do with torsion arms? The seals seam solid and stable with out any play when the camber changes. It looks like the alignment may be toed in a bit as well. Can that affect camber?

Yes, however, it should not be visibly obvious. Toe-in should only be 1/8 of an inch between the front of the tires and the back. 8)

How are you measuring it? How much does it change?

Bent wheels would be a likely cause
