Alignment Question

I'm sure guy you talked too was talking about caster not camber. Pos. caster should be in the 1.5 to 2.5 range. It's hard to get more than that out of these old cars without adj. strut rods. Camber should be 0 to 1/2deg neg. We run 3deg neg. camber on the track but you wouldn't want that much on the street. Toe in should be 1/8". The settings should look like this:



Daily driver:

Camber - 0
Caster - 1.5 to 2deg pos.
toe in - 1/8"



Weekend worrior:

Camber - 1/2 to 1deg neg.
Caster - 2 to 3deg pos. (or as much as you can get)
toe in - 1/8"



Track car:

Camber - 2.5 to 3deg neg.
Caster - 2.5 to 5deg pos. ( will need adj. strut rods)
No toe in




This is what we use with our cars and it works. The more neg. camber you have the more the tires will wear on the inside but the car will stick better in the corners. Caster keeps the car going in a straight line at speed and adds some camber in the turns. Make sure the settings are the same on both sides or the car will pull. I will be glad to help more if you like.
