Front End Alignment Measurements

Post by Linusrp »

Does anyone have the front-end alignment measurement for the early 65-67's? Thanks.

I do not have the exact measurements but you would be well within the ball park with 1/2 to 1 degrees of negative camber, 2 to 3 degrees of positive caster and a 1/16" to 1/8" toe-in. For more sprirted driving go with more negative camber.

Thanks Steve. I couldn't find these measurements anywhere, but knew I could count on some. Thanks again.

Wheel alignment specs for the spl310 and spl311/srl311 that I found in 2 manuals were:
With tire pressures at 22 psi.
SPL310 caster 1 deg 30 minutes, camber 1 degree 26 minutes, toe-in .080"-.120".
SPL311/SRL311 caster 1 deg 30 minutes, camber 1 degree 25 minutes, toe-in .080"-.120".
Includes note: Do not adjust caster with difference between front and rear shim thicknesses beyond .078"
Also lists the toe-out on turns as inner=36 degrees 16 minutes, outer 28 degrees 20 minutes.
Hope this helps you.
:D
