Re: 72 k20 front axle qestion

I had a front dana 44 with a loose axle tube. If you had the same problem and over tighten the axle truss, it might give you the camber problem your looking at.

The upper ball joint sleeve is for pre loading the joint, not a camber adjustment.

Yeah, you're right in their stock form. They do have the aftermarket eccentric sleeves which is what I guess I meant .
