DIY Front Alignment Troubles
OK gang here is the latest on my DIY front end alignment. My day started off by fabricating turn plates to determine my caster after camber was dialed in. I made the plates from 1/4" steel on the bottom and 1/8" steel on the top. Did a little welding for the pivot point and my handles. The top plate was coated with Herculiner and the underside of the bottom plate was covered with carpet antiskid padding. I lubed the plates with graphite spray. I have to say that the worked very well.
Now here is the rest of the alignment story. I set the ride height as per the factory manual at 2 1/8". Left and right camber was adjusted to -0.6* as per the Skosh chart. Measured caster on the left was 0* and the right was -1.2* Obviously nowhere near +2.5* camber that I'm looking for. What do I do next?
