Re: Steering Alignment settings for 82 K10?

Technically, just toe. You want slightly toe'd in, with the intent that they would be straight going down the road, due to compliance in the system. Off the top of my head I think the spec was 1/8" to 1/4" toe in.

Not so technically, you can adjust caster with tapered shims between the spring and the axle seat. You want as much as you feel comfortable putting in there. We used to run as much as 10 degrees, which will give you very nice stable on center feel.

Camber is not intended to be adjustable from the factory but there are tapered kingpins available in the aftermarket. You have to be pretty hardcore to pursue that option.
