" I have my Americans alignment "roughed in" at 3* Caster 1/2* neg Camber " and 1/8" toe. " It seems to handle well and doesn't seem to have any problems with " these settings. I've not driven it much and I know The steering box " is off center about 1/3 turn which makes it twitchy when turning in " one direction. i set my american up with 1* caster and 1/2* camber on the front some years ago. the alignment guy fought me on the camber and he was right - the tires did wear unevenly across. and as i made the caster and camber changes at the same time, i can't attribute which contributed what to the handling improvement. ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and think what none thought
