Camber problem

[brians69d24]

One of my front wheels is cambered in much more than the other. It is significant enough that I am able to see it by eye. According to the service manual, camber is not adjustable and it means that it is a bent spindle or bent front axle. Yuck.  How do I tell where the problem is? I've looked, done some comparisons and can't seem to find where the problem lies. It's been like this since I've owned it but I've driven it very little. It's not the wheel either.
thanks

I seem to remember that Dave Denison wrote a pretty extensive post here once on how to adjust the camber on the older Dodge chassis.  And that it is adjustable.  He did it with a tape measure.  I'm sure its here in the archives somewhere, so just do a search on the subject and you should be able to find it.

Okay, I did the search, and it comes up that its the Castor you can adjust, not the camber.

Above is a good discussion about it, and there are a lot more threads about it too.

From what I gather, a good shop with the right hydrolic press can bend/unbend the front axle to adjust camber.

More than likely it is a worn kingpin.  Jack up front end, wheels straight.  Place pry bar under wheel and see if there is abnormal play in the wheel (knuckle moving in the king pin bore).  A worn kingpin or Delrin bushing lets the top and bottom of the wheel move in and out.  However, you have to use a pry bar to see it due to the weight of the wheel assembly.   http://www.classicwinnebagos.com/forum/index.php?topic=1038.0
