I have a 55 TBird.
Installed a 2” spring drop from stock specs and gas shocks on front, New leafs and gas shocks on rear @ stock height.
Radial tires.
I have the factory specs as;
Caster - ½ to 1½ degree -
And Possibly:
1 1/4 degree Right, 1 degree Left
Camber - ¼ to 1¼ degree -
And Possibly:
3/4 degree Right, 1/2 degree Left
Tow-in - 1/16 to 1/8 inches
King Pin Inclination: 7.1°
Turning Radius:
Outer Wheel: 20
Inner Wheel: 24.5
Questions:
1) What does the lowered front end stance do to these numbers?
2) Do the left and right sides have to be different if I’m not driving on very crowned roads?
Or in other words, shouldn’t both sides be the same?
