What's Up With My Front End?
Just picked up a decent 2000 Carryall Turf 1 gasser on the cheap...the front end sits kindof weird (see pic) looks like this \ / Is there an adjustment that can be done or checked? Nothing seems bent/broken or otherwise out of whack. Before I start dumping $$ into it, I'd like to make sure..thanks!

I know the picture is off centre but by golly that looks out of shape. Front wheel camber looks hugely out of line. How does it steer ? Chris. |

Hard to tell by the pic? Looks like several that we service! LOL
Might take the leaf pack out of the front and turn it end for end to see what happens? Also check spindles good, may have a bent one. |

Re: What's Up With My Front End?
Follow-up...I think I found the problem...welds on the 2 frame cross pieces are broken @ the weld joint causing a lot of flex...think that would do it? Any tricks to re-welding aluminum?

If you live close I'll weld it up for ya for free. A local shop should be able to do it at their minumum one hour charge, for it would REALY take longer to get every thing ready than it will to repair,

Re: What's Up With My Front End?
where you show that frame weld broken it will not have any effect on the suspension. is there a spacer in the front end over the leaf spring? that and the hd front leaves will make the bottom of the tires tuck in a bit. also if all the king pins and bushings are shot, along with maybe the upper a arm mounts lots of strange things can happen.
