OK, If I wasn't confused before, I really am now. I have a 73 40 with a small shackle lift that was installed by the PO. I'm trying to tackle my steering issues and have replaced the TRE's, center arm, and have made adjustments in the steering box and several other things , all to no avail. So, broke down and read hundreds of posts on steering wandering and adjusting camber over the weekend and I still have questions. First, If I read correctly you can measure the degree of camber from either the knuckle studs or the flat top of the axle housing. Is this correct? I can check the angle on both and the knuckle studs are almost dead level and the axle housing is at a 15* angle approx. Is this angle the same on all of the ribs on the axle housing or just the top? This is being done using a really cheap angle finder that I use for cutting metal etc. Does this sound right? I am looking at installing shims to reduce the angle if I need to do that and trying to determine what degree shim and how to install them. The SOR manual says to install the fat end of the shim to the rear but that doesn't make sense to me either as you will be increasing the angle even further.
Also, I don't want to do a cut and turn unless I absolutely have to.
Thx.
