Question JCL/Buyang 550 Alignment

I have 2 small problems,. The first I can fix with some string and a ruler and that is a toe problem. The second has me befuddled, camber. Both front wheels are 1/2" off vertical in the same direction. They lean to the right. The shock asembly is connected at the top just like a car with a single threaded connection and a castle nut.

Any ideas/suggestions???
TIA
Bill

I am an idiot. I failed to check the air in the front tires. RF 3.5psi LF 9.5psi duuuuh. I always preach "look at the simple things first." I need to start listening to myself.

You need to be kind to your elders.

I do have another problem and this one is real. The linkage locks up on the shifter too often. I have to get out pliers and wiggle the linkage where it enters the tranny. I have seen the inside of the linkage at the shifter end and see that if the low range rod moves a little bit it locks every thing up. What I am not sure of is how to prevent this. I am assuming that a simple adjustment of one or both of the connecting rods is in order, but I am a little hesitant to jump in and possibly make it worse. Does anyone know what to do? BTW the linkage on the 550 is identical to the 300.
