Spindles/Camber
I just ran into a problem and would like to know if anyone else has ever had the same thing happen. I ordered a pair of forged early Ford spindles from S------ and put them on the Chassis Engineering axle in my '32 Highboy project. When I bolted the wheels on and let the car down I found that there was 1 degree negative camber. I thought I may have a screwed up axle so I started swapping spindles from car to car and found that when I put the new spindles on the other cars it ended up being the same negative camber reading. When I put stock Ford spindles on the same axles, including the Chassis Engineering axle, the camber was about 1/2 degree positive which, according to my '53 Motors manual, is about right. I've been a Hot Rodder since the early '60's and have never had this happen before, has anyone else had a problem like this with spindles they have purchased??
Thanks, Bruce
So sad, sorry to hear it.
