Default G2 Camber

New guy here! Any help adjusting camber on a old G2? Tops of wheels sometimes way out compared to bottoms. King pins and wheel bearings all brand new. I see nothing that controls this other than shocks. Odd to me for shocks not to sag when worn rather than become stiffer not allowing compression?? Thanx!!

Need to set the toe-in to 1/16" to start. That has a lot to do with managing correct camber!!

Do you have a lift and bigger tires? Really you want positive camber \ / that way when you and passangers get in and start driving it will change to II.

I just built a modified Jake's front steering assembly because there is no real adjustment on the G2. Toe in toe out, that's all you get -- no caster -- no camber. Both are necessary for good steering. You said you put in new king pins and bushings? How were the holes in the a-frame? Mine were egged out and it still seen to handle well. The tires just moved a lot when you jacked it up. A little positive camber goes a long way as been said. Too much and even with proper toe in settings will ware out the tires faster. Jack it up and see if something moves, There should be none in the king pin.

Thanks guys! Afram hole were just fine. Can't understand how toe will affect camber though? Worn shocks have nothing to do with it?
