Front end alignment
Can one of you guru's out there tell me how much camber there should
be on the front wheels? I have a 29 Roadster with an all new front end. The engine is installed so most all of its weight is there. I probably have an angle of 2 to 3 degrees from the vertical out at the top. B.G. |

Re: Front end alignment
According to my 1929 Bear Manual of Wheel & Axle Alignment, on page 22 it calls for 7° of angle at the Spindle Bolt (Kingpin) hole. I think in that day it was called "Pitch", ...but to know for sure I would need to order their new Home Study Course or attend the BEAR SCHOOL in Rock Island, IL.

Re: Front end alignment
Don't think the spinle hole would be the same angle as the camber on the wheel. I have the spec. at my shop and I will look today. 2 to 3 dg sounds like it but not sure. Bill

Re: Front end alignment
Most old solid axle vehicles use .5 - 1.5 degrees positive[out at top]camber.. I don't have access to any of my books,but, if I remember correctly I think Ford wants .5-1.0 degrees.. I know caster should 5 degrees and toe 1/32"-1/16".. The early toe setting of 1/8" didn't work well with paved roads..
