Re: Adjusting Camber, looking for a shop in Connecticut.
Hi, are you using radial or bias ply tyres? If you are using radials then you may not need to alter the camber. The original Ford spec is for bias ply tyres and radials tend to prefer a bit more negative camber.

It’s out of original spec from Ford and I can see where it is wearing the inside of the tires. So it does need adjustment. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Re: Adjusting Camber, looking for a shop in Connecticut.
Update:
Superior Spring did a great job with adjusting everything into spec. They had to cold bend the axle to bring the camber in. It was at -3/4” now it’s +1/4”. Caster and Toe were checked and no adjustment was required. Thanks to those who recommended them. They do quite a few hot rods and classic cars. The tech who worked on my car had been doing these type of alignments for 30+ years. Regards. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |
