Alignment question..

[MMeier]

...only thing that is adjustable on our front ends is the toe setting, correct ? ( W models)

 

[RWherley]

That depends on your lower king pins, I have seen some trucks with a special lower king pin that allows you adjust the camber as well, If you have these king pins it will look like two large nuts one on top the other in the center of the king pin plate.

On a Dodge? Never seen those before!

Correct as for most non special edition RWherley trucks. (Poke poke :-laf) When the lower king pin wears, the camber will show as being off. Time for a rebuild then.

 

[RWherley]

I don't know if they where factory and I have only seen one truck with them but you can the kit to put them in from Moog but they aren't cheap and in most cases I think not needed

Likely. There was/is many aftermarket kits for these axles.

Hahaha. Like you are one to talk. Yours is only 2 feet shorter. And I have seen what you are doing with yours. You are a few broken parts away from getting ticked off with it and going down the road I ended up going. LMAO

Its true I already have a different transmission laying on the shop floor, but you know how it is the more custom stuff you do the cooler it becomes.

Haaaahahaha. Exactly. Slippery slope it is!

 

[RWherley]

Yes it is but it sure is fun anit it.

 

[RSchwarzli]

Yes. That it is!

Sorry btw to the OP. I hope we answered the question before we derailed this thread!

Here's a pdf about them:

They also make shims that I can only assume go between the spindle and the knuckle?

Yes those are what I was talking about.

I installed a set of those on my first axle rebuild. I then moved them over to the second axle I had to install.

They work good. If the chamber doesn't come back in with new parts. These can most of the time get you into adjustment.
