Reply to "Alignment and unusual front tire wear..."

Mooso,

From my alignment shop's data base:

Front:
Camber: -0.1* to 0.1*
Caster: 2.3* to 3.3*
Toe in: 0.19* to 0.31*

Rear:
Camber: -0.6* to -0.4*
Toe in: 0.19* to 0.31*

My settings after alignment:

Front: Left Right
Camber: L 0.1* R -0.1*
Caster: L 3.0* R 2.2*
Toe in: L 0.11* R 0.11* Total toe in: 0.23*

Rear:
Camber: L -0.5* R -0.5*
Toe in: L 0.12* R 0.14* Total toe in: 0.26*

The reason that my right front caster is below specs is that my car is a '71, and there is no adjustment for caster. I would have to modify the a-arm or mill and shim the upper ball joint. I have 7,000 miles on these settings, with no sign of tire wear.

John
