How much camber?
by CedarRiverScooter » 17 Sep 2020, 18:27
First post
I am going to help my neighbour weld a replacement spindle onto his trailer axle. How much camber should I shoot for in the unloaded condition?
Last post
Thanks. Upon further thought I am going to tell him just to buy new axle. Then I won't have any liability for my welding.
