Front alignment 71 K20 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey all,

The front alignment on my 71 K20 is off pretty bad. The toe-in/out is fine, I beleive it is the camber that is off. The outer edge of the tires are badly worn. Did a few searches with no help, but it seems I remember a post or two in the past that talks about shims to fix camber. Problem is using the pics in my sevice manual I can't see where the shims could go. The only adjusting point seems to be an upper ball stud adjusting sleeve. Is this the adjusting point for camber? The manual never explains it ( or I haven't found it).

Thanks for any help!
