12:05 Garage- ’70 Duster build

Got the HDK back together and just need to finalize the toe settings. I measured the camber gain with the now 2" taller than stock upper ball joint. I can't seem to find that article or forum post where someone measured the stock suspension with the FMJ spindle. I'd really like to compare what I have now to that setup.

I'm going to try limiting the suspension travel to 4", 2" up, 2" down. This doesn't take bump stop compression so it may be slightly more. I'm thinking with the roll center in a better place, the car shouldn't have as much body roll on hard cornering, so this won't matter. I took measurements in 1/2" increments to increase the resolution of the results.

Ride height +2 - 1.8 degrees
Ride height +1.5 - 1.4 degrees
Ride height +1 - .8 degrees
Ride height +.5 - .4 degrees
Ride height - 0 degrees
Ride height -.5 - .3 degrees
Ride height -1 - .3 degrees
Ride height -1.5 - .6 degrees
Ride height -2 - .6 degrees

I've read .7 degrees per inch is desirable for camber gain. If there's any validity to that, I'd say I've nailed it!

Roll center calculations coming next...
