I've got these alignment specs off of David Reinecke's website:

Street Alignment

Camber Right .5 deg
Camber Left .5 deg
Caster Right .4 deg
Caster Left .8 deg
Toe Right .10"
Toe Left .10"

Is this right? I just want to double check (not that I doubt you David :D ).

Take care guys!

I've used these and they work just fine. The variations that I've seen on this site seem to range from -.5* to +.5* camber and +1* to +5* caster with about +.5* extra caster on the left to compensate for the crown in roads.

I'm currently running 0* camber ,5* left / 4.5* right caster and 1/16" toe-in per side. The steering is heavier than David's specs, due to the caster.

Hope this helps graemlins/waving.gif

Daryl,
Thanks bud!

I'm curious what is the offset moog shaft? Does it allow you to use the stock control arm without a bunch of shims????

For the tall spindle swap you reverse them thus effectively have a cheap version of a shorter upper control arm since reversing the offset shafts will bring the control arm in towards the center of the frame.

Joe,
I you are interested, I can look to see if I can find the alignment specs GW sent to me when I got their upper control arms... They had two different versions, one for more or less 'street' and one for all-out racing. I used the street specs for mine which I showed to the alignment guy and he said he really liked the specs and usually tried to get close to them if the owners would let him! Most times he couldn't since they didn't have the tall spindles and such, but he got mine there! (After rolling the frame of course!!) Plus, he also said mine was the best handling car from that era that he had ever driven! :D

Anyway, I'll look to see if I still have them...

hilljack,
What you said is correct, we use the offset inner shafts installed BACKWARDS to help eliminate some of the shims to get it aligned.

I'll have to remeber that one graemlins/thumbsup.gif

EDIT - I already know the answer to the Q I posted. graemlins/clonk.gif Argh.

That would be nice to have those specs.
