Can someone please enlighten me on how to properly adjust the camber/caster on the '33. I seem to have quite a bit of camber in the front wheels and will probably have some uneven wear on my crazy expensive tires. With that said, any help would be great. Thanks guys.

I bought a caster /camber gauge from Speedway. Then I adjusted the front rods to get what I needed. I used tiles with the flat side facing each other with grease in between. This allowed for wheel movement while I adjusted it.

Thanks Wallace, but doesn't the outer tube of the lower a-arm adjust the toe in/toe out?...or are they related?

To some degree. You set toe after caster/camber with the tierods.

Have a look at the sticky about alignment in this this section, written by KGB911, (Dan Ruth). I aligned my 33 with his method with good success.
