Does anyone have the alignment specs for a '69 Charger??

If you have a stock front end set up, just set the UCA's for maximum caster for best stability. There is not enough adjustment in the design to mitigate the high camber angles (the top of the wheel will lean in) as there is a trde off between good caster and acceptable camber.

I would set the toe in at around 1/8".

I m sure there are load s of opinions on this, but this setup works for me and costs nothing.

Yep don't use the factory settings.


1), about 1/8 toe in .

2)A bit of negative camber - maybe a degree.

3) As much positive caster as you can get, whilst maintaining the camber setting. This will turn out to be 1.5-2 degrees. Not really enough by modern driving standards, but it'll do .

A bit more caster can be obtained by using offset bushes in the UCA http://www.moog-suspension-parts.com/moog-k7103

Lots more can be obtained with aftermarket UCAs like these http://www.magnumforce.com/magnumforce_ ... l_arms.htm

These are the only Aftermarket UCA's I would fit and they cost a packet:

I just took a set of inferior Adjustable UCA's off the Coronet I had, impossible to set up without continually dismantling the front end. Not worth the effort in my opinion.

I have these - even Roger the alignment god loves them...

EDIT - ignore this second post. Weird 404 messages with MMA logos and resets. Seems OK now.
