Does anyone have them for a 1971 Dodge Dart swinger? Originally a 318 car with ac.
Help is appreciated.
Help is appreciated.
well, the original specs are no longer valid because of modern day radial tires, shocks, crown in the roads, etc.
for a street car i like 4 degrees positive caster, 1/2 deg negative camber and 1/8" toe in.
install the Moog offset bushings in the upper control arms to achieve that much positive caster.

What if you still run bias ply's?.

Factory specs took into account the crown in the road. Camber differed side to side.
I'm trying to decide on what specs to use for my alignment appt tomorrow.
Curently thinking 3 deg castor or max what the stock units will allow. Camber L -.5 R -.25 and 3/32 toe in.
IF you run bias, use factory specs.
IF you run radials, use the modern specs
Flip your camber numbers side to side. -.25 on the left, -.5 on the right with even caster
Don't play, install some offset bushings, there are plenty of recent threads on alignment take a look around.
I used this chart in part base my decision on specs. Street/strip car. My proposed specs are a blend of drag and street perf.
I'm not putting any money into this stock setup as my pennies are being saved for an RMS AlterKation.
Unless your out there being competitive making money, after market k members are a waste of cash. Unless it's burning a hole in your pocket, look at old autoxcuda rip on stock stuff. Plus, what does this have to do with the original topic?
