Location: McComb, Mississippi | I need specs for front end alignment on my 61 polara. It has power steering and the front end is completely rebuilt. Im running radial tires and using the car daily.
Thanks |

Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island | Cristian, you should use the same specs as I did on my '60 Chrysler - it runs like a dream.
Aim for 2° caster (compromise 1,5°) and 1/4° to 1/2° negative camber.

Below, you'll find the alignment report (sorry in Swedish, but your shop would understand) of what we were able to achieve without the offset bushings for the upper control arms

Location: UK | I've just put the front end back in on mine. I have manual steering and tried setting it as per factory manual (positive camber, negative caster) and didn't like the way it handled.. Will try this setting that you suggest wizzard. Out of interest how did you measure the castor? I've been using a digital angle gauge across the top and bottom front face of the steering knuckle clost to where the ball joints go in? I couldn't find any other suitable place to measure from. |
