  1. Thanks! I'll let you know what I find....
  2. Hmmm, maybe my terminology is incorrect. When I say camber, I mean the top of the tire, in this case the rear tire, is tilted in toward the center of the car. An alignment machine was used to determine the distance of 7/16 of an inch. To my knowlage, the car has hit nothing, while I've owned it, not even a big hole in the road. I'm going to make some measurements today to see if the car has a sag. Like I said before, the strut cartrige on that side looks like it may have lost oil.
  3. Thanks for the info. The left wheel is also doing the same thing, but not to the same degree. It's out of alignment by about 1/32 of an inch, the right side is 7/16 in. out. I also thought about the strut cartrige, and I did take a look at it, looked like it may have lost some oil...but I didn't think that would allow for a sag. I'll look into is some more. Last winter, I cut out most of the floor, and welded new steel into it, taking care not to cause warping, then sprayed bed liner inside, and hardend undercoating underneath. I also used a rust killing product on all the welds and any oxydized metal that I found. I hope I got all the rust. If I was to put the car on a frame machine, do you have any idea were I could find the technical data for straightening the car? Again, than you for your help! Merry Christmas!
  4. I recently noticed that one of the rear wheels on my '72 240 was cambered in. I took the car to have the alignment looked at but there was no adjustment to be made. My only thought is that maybe it's time to replace the coil springs. I haven't really looked at them that hard, and the car didn't look as though it was sitting lower, but I don't know what else would cause this. I couldn't find anything broken, and the bushings are all new on the back end. Any ideas would be helpful.
