C1 Front End Setup Concern

[Jerry M.]

I'm concerned with how my '62 front end looks. At this point in reassembly, should the camber be this far off (-) centerline? At this point, I would almost expect the opposite condition.

These are original spindles, a-arms and spindle shafts (except upper outer). New aluminum shim plates are installed correctly. King pins and pivot shaft bushings have been replaced.

Does this look right at this point?

I forgot to mention that the springs are original and mounted with flat surfaces up and seated in the lower a-arm with the end at the hole.

You can't make a meaningful camber measurement with the suspension unloaded, which it appears to be.

As far as the camber going negative at full droop, yep, it will do that.

Thanks for the reply Jim. That's good news.
