'll be taking my car in for an alignment next week. What specs should I give them.



My car is a '72 pre-L. I have 17x11 on the rear with 335x35x17 and 16x8.5 front with 245X45X16. I have Aldan adjustable shocks, 1" sway bars front and rear with heim joints. I also have a camber lock kit. The car will mosly be driven on the street but will see some track time too.



Your thoughts?



thanks in advance,

Hi John,

The "Pre-Ford" alignment specs are a good starting point. -1/4° camber front, -1/2° camber rear, with zero toe-in front & 3/16" toe-in rear. I would deviate from those specs by adding a minimal amount of toe-in up front (1/16").

The "Post Ford" alignment specs are not much different. they are -1/8° to -1/4° camber front, -1/4° to -1/2° camber rear, 1/16” toe-in front, 1/8” toe-in rear.

Ever thought about modifying the upper front control arms to allow for more front caster?
