- Hi Frank, I am wondering if the lower A- arm has been re-bushed at some time, and done badly so the bottom pin isn't where it should be. Have you checked the distance between the bottom pin and the i

- Could the spindle be bent? You can make an adapter and install a shock from an MGB (old racer's trick). When you make the adapter, you can set the camber where ever you want. The MGB front shocks hav

- Where the rear shock LINK fits into the body....the hole in the body has probably worn "oval"? Had this happen on my PO'd '74. Makes a hell of a "clonk". Still thinking about the camber problem. Tho

- One thing at a time... I can't manage more at my age ;-\ If you remove the rear shock, is the clunk still there?? If not, what can you 'feel' when you manually move the shock lever up and down?? Dav

- There is something we need to keep in mind, regarding the steering rack & tie rods: There is a good and logical reason that the steering rack is located where it is, and that the tie rod inner ball

- Adjusting the toe should have no effect on the camber. If it did you would have a condition called bump steer, fells like someone is tugging on steering wheel as you go over bumps and the suspension
