VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1929-1932 Camber on a 32 sedan?

I can visibly see a "lot" of camber on the front end. The new tires appear to be wearing more on the outside too. I roughly measure 5 degrees. What should it be please?
Norm

The 1934 shop manual shows 1 Deg. for the Standard and 1/2 ton truck. Don't see why the 1932 would be any different.

The specs. for the front axle on your 1932 sedan are as follows:

King Pin Transverse Inclination: 7 degrees 10'
Spindle Transverse Inclination: 1 degree 30'
Caster Angle: 2 degrees 15'
Toe In: 0 degrees 13' 50" to 0 degrees 17' 34"

Thanks all.
I need an education on how king pin and spindle transverse inclination formulate to the wheel camber please.

You can read all about that on the Internet. Do a search on Google.

1930 and 1931 years had 1 1/2 degrees of camber each side.
Still looking for my 1932 specs to check if 1932 is the same.

I Have found my 1932 specs, 1932 camber is also 1 1/2 decrees both sides.

Thanks Jack.
I will go with that. I am presently searching for one of those, usually truck, alignment places to bend it. The manual says bend it at room temperature, not to use heat.

I just had a thought,,,, this front end has been converted to hydraulic brakes by a previous owner. I think by switching spindles from about a 36 Chevy pickup truck. I don't know the bore angle of the 32 vs a 36 truck. Junkyard Dog said the travers inclination of a 32 was 1 deg 30 min.
Thanks, Norm

The steering knuckle/Spindle is the same from 1929 to at least 1939 (possibly later on 1/2 ton truck , but cant check at the moment)
My 1939 camber is 1 degree , plus or minus 1/2 a degree.

I would say they just bolted the backing plates from a later year to the 1932 axle and knuckles.

Thanks Jack,
Takes care of that posibility.
