Did I miss something about the Hubler front end having a camber problem?
If so, what was the cure?

Thanks,

RonC

Ron, no there is no camber problem with the Hubler front end. They align
just like the GMC. When we do the install, the upper control arm bushings
that are towards the rear of the coach are replaced with the eccentric Moog
bushings that allow for more caster. Perhaps that is what you are
thinking of. Not a problem, but a definite improvement in straight line
tracking.

When you do modification to the standard, you need to understand where
there can be some additional load can be and make sure you tighten all
the bolts well.
We have done many units, but had few loosen up when the front end shop
were not careful about tightening the bolts

Hubler front end uses Timkin bearings, Moog suspension components and
hardened axels and endorsed by Bill Hubler and Steve Ferguson. Comes
complete with calipers and pads.
