Camber issue

[JTrider]

I recently crashed and ended up bending the left wheel and left tie rod. I have replaced both but now it looks like the camber is more negative than the right side. I looked at everything and nothing else looks bent and I see no adjustment area for camber. What could be causing the camber to be off?

Measure your spindles. It may have been bent. It is hard to tell but if you put a tape between where the brackets that bolt to your arms are, you will be able to tell if one is bent.

X2. That would be the first thing that I checked.

Thanks for the info. So I need to measure the distance from the top joint of the spindle to the bottom joint of the spindle and then compare it to the other side that is fine?

Easy way to mesure camber is with a 2 foot level and a peice of angle on even ground. Put the angle against the wheel and hold the level so its vertical. Mesure at a hight of 2ft, the distance should be 1 5/8in gap.

If the camber is off does it always mean the spindle is bent?

Most likely. There is no adjustment on the stock arms. The only other thing it could be is your arm is bent.

Thanks everyone. I measured last night and the a-arms are bent. The top left is bent downward closer the bottom a-arm and both top and bottom a-arms are bent a .5" back toward the foot peg. Time to go shopping.
