front axle issues!
On my '66 f250 4x4 the front dana tends to shimmy bad around corners and around 55mph! All bearings, tie rods, and drag link are tight. I noticed the tires are cambered out on the top. I guess what I am asking is are the king pins designed to camber the tires and does this cause my shimmy? Thanks again guys for any advice!

Your 66 F250 has bearings and a Trunion cap top and bottom and is non adjustable for camber. No kingpins.
The bearings can be toast or the trunion worn. ore the axle bent from abuse. New bearing, and trunions are available.
Also depending on what axle you have the 3000 or the 3500# the spindle snout can also fracture and cause the wheels to lean out or in.
