Excessive front tire camber? When i bought the dart i saw it like this i checked the underneath and all looks ok, except maybe the upper ball joint? Is this adjustable? Both front tires are like this.

67 GTX

is that the original front end? after 38 years the, the front end begins to wear out. mine looked like that too. it needed all new bushings, ball joints, etc.
it is not the worst job, so dont get nervous

check the upper and lower control arms bushings, along with all of the other bushings, joints, etc.

67 GTX is correct.

But, if the previous owner cranked the torsion bars down to lower the car and then never adjusted the camber to compensate.... this is how it will look.

It's something to think about.

Does the car have a forward rake? (Dropped in the front look?)

If this is the issue, the torsion bar adjusting bolts are in the middle of the lower control arm. Measure the existing height and crank the bolts in the direction that raises the car. Make sure and count the turns that you crank the bolts so that you get it even and make sure that both front tires are the same diameter and are aired up evenly or you'll end up crooked.

It's real easy and it may get you straightened out for the time being.

I've done this and then took the car to the alignment shop to square it all up.

By the way: I think I can see the adjusting bolt in your last picture of the lower arm and it looks like it's cranked out pretty far.

Thanks guys for the help, it does have a very slight foward rake to it. i would take more pics of the front end but its down pooring rain and i have yet to get rid of my other car to put it under a cover. I have my new set of four tires coming in the mail, so i might take it to my les schwab and get the tires mounted and get the alignment and ride height fixed, it does not pull bad even with the excessive camber slight left it pulls.

It's raining here too. Usually the guys at Les Schwab are pretty sharp. Let them check it out and I am sure that they can straighten it up for you for the time being. Good luck!

Thanks man!

67 GTX

be careful though
if the bushings are worn out, they won't hold a re-adjustment

Good to know, when i was up under the car. all the bushings and balljoints looked ok to good not bad like my other classic car when i bought that one but then again it was also 10 years older lol

67 GTX

did you also check the allignments bushings?

mytracy

I have yet to check that

67 GTX

those are probably worn out
