Re: wheel alignment for Chevy Pickup with Camaro Subframe ?

Word for word he said exactly what I was going to say. Have it set for the year of Camaro the subframe came out of . Factory settings or close to it and not some screwball ricky racer settings with wild camber offsets so it corners like it is on rails on a road course. I say that because everytime setting up a front end comes up someone chimes in with settings that may work on a race track but will eat your tires in a few hundred or less miles on the street. I also did front end alignment for a number of years right in the heyday of those Camaros.

Re: wheel alignment for Chevy Pickup with Camaro Subframe ?

hy and thanks for response...

But one more question.....what do u think about caster ?

For a smooth and comfortable ride i guess the original caster is no really desireable

What do u think about "offset shafts" ??? Are these shafts worth the money or just a good marketing :-)

thanks a lot
