what is the prefered align. specs. and max. street handeling specs. on 66 mustang v8 4speed power steering.
For the best handling these are the settings you need. These specs are in the order of importance. A. NO more than .25 degrees difference between drivers side and passengers side. B. +2.0 to +3.5 degrees caster, get as much caster as you can up to 3.5. C. -.5 to 0 degrees camber. No positive camber for any reason. If the camber varies slightly on each side it isnt a bad thing. There is no problem having a slight variation from driver’s side to passenger’s side to account for the crown in the road. 4. 1/16" to 1/8†toe in
