toe in for C2 with radials

[William F.]

On previous posts some recommend 1/32" per side; some recommend 1/16" per side. Which is best for normal driving with P205/75-15 radials?
Thanks

This has always been my "go to" chart...

Hi Leif,
do you happen to have this chart as a separate pdf file that you could send me?

I just used Leif's specs a couple of days ago to get my rebuilt 63 suspension dialed in and they work superbly..

Mark,
I don't have this as a separate PDF file but you can right click on the image as save it to your documents. Hope this helps.

Leif,

Is this alignment done with a full tank of gas, or just the 2 or 3 gallons as described in the AIM?


Thanks,

Thanks for info but have a question: Drawing for rear looks like it shows toe out rather than toe in. Which is it? thanks

James,
I've never paid any attention to how much gas was in the tank when I had the rear aligned.

William,
I have always looked at the picture as though the bottom of the picture was towards the front of the car and, therefore, the arrows indicate toe in.

The Hunter Hawkeye alignment machine I use, toe out is a negative number, toe in is a positive number.

Touring Duke, and set up for manual (not power) steering. I think my "guy" backed off the caster a tiny bit but I'd have to dig out my printout to be
sure. My 63 has nearly new tires, new manual brake drums on all four corners, 28 lbs in each tire and 1/2 tank of gas with a spare tire on board for the alignment, and a Van Steel rebuilt original steering box.

The car feels nimble and responsive now, without being "twitchy". Haven't had it up to interstate speeds yet as, after doing a fairly comprehensive suspension rebuild I find I have a bad rear U-joint (Ugh). So, while the driveshaft is out I'm having it balanced too. Then I'll get some high speed runs performed...
