Wisdom is the application of knowledge to life's experiences. You have gained plenty of wisdom during your life which you shall keep sharing with others. I'm 78 and also feel that 'stinky" sensation as the phone rings with sad news about those I grew up with. Every once in a while I read the poem, INVICTUS by William Earnest Henley that we learned in high school back in 1961 and it puts things in perspective. Google: "INVICTUS". |

Re: 1938 alignment specs
I suggest that ford axles were factory installed with the axle information ie Ford ,part # etc.in the boss at the left front corner. Also I suggest that the front crossmember has a 4 degree forward angle. A lot of low caster is because the crossmember is worn so the spring has a bad fit. I have been told by old alignment guys that they would put a "axe" shim in between the crossmember saddle and spring .for consideration .

The transverse spring can stay clamped tightly in the transverse crossmember, yet still allow the minor changes in CASTER because of the flexibility created between spring and axle at the spring shackles. Those joints at the left and right shackles are very flexible. This is ONE reason why trying to shim the spring has no influence on changing the CASTER angle on a transverse spring equipped Ford.
