I-Beam Aligning Tool
I was wondering if anyone has ever bent their own I-beam to adjust camber on a king pin axle. I can't seem to find the adaptor for the hydraulic porta-power. thanks

Most likely cause of camber out of tolerance is sagging (or wrong) springs, worn axle pivot bushings and worn king pins. My alignment man told be that he has never had to bend one of these axles to correct alignment unless its been wrecked, suspension modified, or some other shop bent it (wrongly) to correct a perceived problem. If the ride height is correct then the camber will likely be correct. Sometimes you can install spring spacers to correct sagging springs and restore ride height.
