Found a right hand steering knuckle complete from top link to the bottom link inclusive with the drum, except when I attached it to the vehicle then the top of the tire extends angled out wards too much??? Not sure exactly how to bring it back in?? Yea so that the bottom of the tire rests/fits more evenly with the pavement??? Think it's called either castor or the camber?? Not sure which one though either?? Help????
 
I think camber is the term for what you're describing. I have no idea how to adjust it, but I am following along because I know my "B" is going to need front end adjustments as well and I have no idea what or how.
 
There is no adjustment.
Suspect bad part.
Do you mean rotor, not drum?
 
Doesn't the top link and the bottom link screw up and down? Then can't one adjust the top of the tire and the4 bottom of the tire in or out that way?
even Signed:
via also hoping because this unit that I recently purchased was supposed to be rebuilt then ready to install???
 
It does for assembly only. Not meant to be loosened.
Only stock adjustment is the toe.
 
Then how might one replace the link pin seals without ever taking it apart. As well I removed the top and the bottom link pins from the one which I replaced. The plan was to put all new rubber boots and such on it??
 
As well the electric fuel pump ceased from working and I'm not about to give Moss Motors 575 dollars for their replacement one... Simply outrageous for sure!!! Does one know what other electric fuel pumps might suitably fit??? But at a much more affordable price?
 
Please read above. Yes, it comes apart for replacing worn parts, but NOT for adjustment.
Buy after market bits if you want more adjustments.
Can purchase a simple pump at Napa, but be sure to fit a regulator if it provides too much pressure.
Would suggest that you purchase a Haynes Manual.
 
Thanks for the info but one knows that Napa is going to ask me to wit: what's it off of? As well My electric fuel pump was made by A.C. which is non existent today?? The previous owner informed me that he robbed this fuel pump from a Jaguar????
 
Just get the Fauct square pump. Tell the clerk what colour the vehicle is, including the interior and how much air is in the tyres. I have mine trained NOT to ask.
Taking apart is the only real way. Buy another front crossmember assembly and rebuild it. Takes four bolts to refit…minus steering, two brake hoses.
 
Can we have some photos of the subject part mounted in the chassis?

As D says, there is NO adjustment other than toe in/out on an MGB.

If you intend to work on the car, you need to find a manual. Haynes or Bentley.

Again, photos?
 
On another thread the OP mentions that he has a 1953 MGTD. Maybe he'll put that info in his signature line to avoid confusion....
 
MGTD is non adjustable save for the toe. Even worse to source after market bits for.
