I had an alignment done on the Scamp today. I gave them the Skosh chart and asked to get 3* of caster if possible. My front end is stock rebuilt from Doctor Diff. A Newish Flaming river 16:1 manual steering box. Qa1 strut rods. PST 1.03 torsion bars. Viking 2 way adjustable shocks. I do not have adjustable upper control arms except for the bolt. No offset bushings either. The left rear leaf spring has 2 Bergman spacers in it as it was crabbing earlier and when I measured from the frame as well as I could it was off. This also centered the wheel in the wheel well.
This car is just for cruising around and next year a few trips down the strip. No road course or racing. The car now rides very straight going down the road and steers easier than before.
After I got home I noticed that they have positive camber. I may be wrong but I thought we should have some small negative camber. As it is, the steering is easier with the 16:1 and positive camber. What do you make of the settings I have? Should I keep the spacers in the back. I don't understand where that comes into play in the alignment numbers.
