All M-35 front axles have a greater, than what is considered normal
today, negative camber. Without power steering , and with the amount of
positive caster built into the axle to keep the truck going straight down
the road, the high neg camber makes the truck steer (turn easier) when
loaded at the exspense of the outer edge of the tires. JJA
