How do you guys adjust the angles on your stock axels and spindles? My local rules state that everything has to be lawnmower parts. Also what do you use to mesure the angles of the front end?
Depends on the type of axle you have...You really dont want to mess with the spindles, because as George said you can weaken them...
Some are easy enough to cut the spindle barrel off and tweak back or in to set angles..some even have the cart style "C" bracket but use the press in bushings and "L" or "J" spindles...again cut angle and reweld...
Simpler is when you pull "hinge" bolt to tighten chassis (you should) when you weld or bolt it back in...twist the top back...instant castor....
Castor.camber gauges are nice... but place a beer can next to a wheel...and 3/16" gap at top is 3*.... :wink:
For the more techniquely inclined... a simple school protractor...Mark angle, then cut a piece of cardboard for "solid" gauge...
Or if you know some one with a Nice Miter Box...have them make you one out of wood... (then you can keep the beer in the fridge where it stays cold.... :twisted: )
