I have a 65 coupe with new 1" drop springs and was wondering what people are using to align the front end with radial tires. The specs in the manual are for bias ply tires and is there a change going to radials with a drop?

Appreciate comments

 

print out the following info and take it with you

Please align to these specs “1960-1966 Mustang and Falcon Performance Alignment�.

These specifications are in order of importance.

1. NO more than .25 degrees difference between driver’s side and passenger’s side.

2. +2.0 to +3.5 degrees caster.
NOTE: for cars with Adjustable strut rods. Please attain as much caster as possible using the shims (at least 1.5 to 2.0 degrees), and then use the adjustable strut rods to increase the caster and make the sides the same. Also, please note that the caster difference between the driver’s side and passenger’s side needs to have no more .25 degrees difference prior to the adjustment of the strut rods.

3. -.5 to 0 degrees camber. No positive camber, please. There is no problem having a slight variation from driver’s side to passenger’s side to account for the crown in the road.

4. 1/16" to 1/8� toe in

If you run into any problems attaining these specs, please call me (your phone number here).

 

do you have the same specs for a 1968 mustang 1" drop all around?
