Hi John
I was into Mustangs in a previous life. Back to British for the
forseeable future. Anyway, early Mustangs, the small bodies up to '69,
had a helluva camber problem. Seems Ford thought the wheels should lean
the other way in a turn (full-on Homer Simpson DOH!). Those of us not
afraid to change their cars purchased various items on the market to
correct the camber problem. Things like special wedge-blocks are
available, but IMHO, the best engineering comes from Total Control
Products: www.totalcontrolproducts.com Check this website out for
engineering ideas on adjustable front end camber. Maybe you can use
some of their ideas without infringement? Good Luck...

Subject: Camber Adjust on Frontline?
Hey all,
It has come to my attention that the frontline kit has 2 degrees of
camber
built in and that means it sets a stock spring setup at the correct 1
degree
(negative).
Now that is fine unless you have lowered springs that do 1 to 2 degrees.
Use
them in combination and you have WAY too much camber for the street.
Now,
what about the notorious differences from side to side or from car to
car (as
built or as it has evolved). I'm told that frontline refuses to
acknowledge
this as a problem.
Wouldn't it be nice if someone has built a top A arm setup with
adjustable
camber? Does anyone know of such? If not, a buddy and I are prepared
to
engineer such. It would be done so that it could be built from scratch,
or
for conversion of existing top arm conversions that were delivered
without
camber adjust.
Anyone close to San Jose with a frontline set that we can use for a
template?
Thankx for listening to my current "Vendor Problem".
