1/8" toe in. No other adjustment normally required. If your axle is bent, that's a different story, and can only be adjusted by certain truck suspension shops.

Re: Wheel alignment specs for 1948 car
The above info is incorrect. The toe in for 1948 Ford car is 1/16 in.
Caster setting is +41/2 degrees, Camber is + 1/4 to 1 degree, King Pin Inclination is 8 degrees, King Pin Dia. is .812 in. Source: 1935 to 48 Motor's Repair Manual Page 440. Last edited by 19Fordy; 03-18-2019 at 10:30 AM. |

Re: Wheel alignment specs for 1948 car
I think anywhere between those to figures is fine BUT are your tyres radials or crossplys?
You can do it yourself . I just made this up for doing it .

Re: Wheel alignment specs for 1948 car
19Fordy has the right toe in number as listed in the 39-48 Service Manual. I took my 46 Super Deluxe to the local Ford dealer to have the toe in checked, and supplied the specs. The Technician had to convert the 1/16" to degrees, as their alignment computer worked in degrees.
