Is the entire van leaning to the left like most Westies?  Check to see if
the van is level side-to-side.

Subject:    Help,camber adjustment

In having an alignment job done today, on my '84 Vanagon Westy, the
technician told me that there was insufficient adjustment on my passenger
side wheel.

There was about 2 degrees of negative camber and he was only able to reduce
it to 1 degree before the adjuster reached its max.
The other side he was able to set correctly to 0 degrees.
He also said there was no play in the ball joints and the entire front end
is tight still.   Vehicle only has 78 K miles.
Does anybody have an idea how to correct this situation ?

Thanks,   Steve Cotsford
