Poor mans suspension upgrade info.
Charlief1:
The factory parts can do a lot more camber and caster than after market manufactures are willing to admit. The factory settings for caster is supposed to be at 2.5 degrees with a +.5 degrees of camber. These are not performance specs by any means but are for the average grocery getter car. A good alignment tech will know the better specs from seeing a bunch of cars over the years and seeing how the tires wear.
You should've done the bump steer kit before you did the alignment because once you do it and set it right then you'll need another alignment.
TURBOPOWERED68:
Do you have a similar write up for A bodies?
Charlief1:
I could probably do something for you if you want David, but I don't have one written up for them.
Steve Wood:
additional caster sure helps the stability at speed.....
This is an old trick that we have done for years
One can also install the Moog problem solver bushings in the uppers, but, reverse one from the normal way of install and increase the caster if the stock range of adjustment is not enough
