L1500 DT Front Wheel Angle

[billrigsby]

Is this normal......


I have gatherd a lot of photos from the web for this project,
but I do not have any of a DT straight on.

I know (think) this is a King Pin front end, wondering if there is an adjustment,
or if this is normal with out a FEL "load" on it?

Just wondering, they are both about the same angle.

Does it change when the wheel is straight ahead? Appears to be turned slightly. Depending on orientation of king pins, it will change angle.

Bill,

what you got there is "positive camber" and it is set that way to help steering - it becomes a little easier on the hands with a positive camber - on race cars and whatnot - they use a negative camber, helps them corner better at a high speed.
