Lynn,
First let me apologize as my post in HTML did not translate to Plain Text.
The spec you quote you are trying to meet is the spec for Castor not Camber.
The spec for castor is 30 minutes positive plus or minus 15 minutes. So
castor can be from 45 minutes to as little as little as 15 minutes.
There are 60 minutes in a degree. So to correlate castor can be from 3
quarters to a degree to as little as 1 quarter of a degree. This is way
different than nearly 4 degrees positive.

Subject: [Tigers] Camber question
Hey all,
First let me say thanks to all the vets out there. Your sacrifice is
appreciated
Second I am trying to align my tiger and the camber has me puzzled. The
owners manual says 3 degrees 50 minutes positive camber. It describes
positive camber as the top of the tire moving AWAY from the engine
I cant believe that applies to todays tires and wheels. I am running 16
Panasports and when I went even slightly positive the handling became
EXTREMELY twitchy. I looked up what my 67 mustang should be and it
suggested = to 1 negative camber. I tried that an it seems to handle much
better.
Any ideas/suggestions. Im getting pretty good at changing out shims.
Thank you in advance.
Lynn
