Default G2 kingpin issue

Hello again. I have a g2. The passenger tire was cambered out and the tire was worn down when I got the cart. I figured it was the kingpin bushings so I replaced both sides. The passenger side is still cambered out along with the driver side now. Could I have done something wrong? There is no play in the hubs.

I kept each spindle on the proper side. I only worked on one side at a time. Ill drive it some more and post up a picture of the shocks if nothing changes.

We do need a picture. The A arms look pretty flat, Things get heywire out on the ends.

Maybe previous owner messed up!! The right tire wear suggests that!!

Not sure why or even how but it almost looks to me like the arms are mounted upside down.

Arms are flat its not jacked up by the shocks. The arms or spindles are not right. Though I don't recognize that bracket on the front mount.

Yep, i noticed that later, a-arms are flat... Spindles upside down is my best guess. Best guess is all we got 'till another pic or 2 comes back.
