On my '64 Tiger the PO dialed in (I think) almost as much neg. camber as
possible. You can see the wheels slanted in at the top and a stack of
shims at the top of each a-arm. This got rid of the plow but it's a bear
to steer. Worse if I'm carrying a passenger. But she is quick in the
corners. And I haven't noticed any undo tire wear on the inside tread like
everyone warned me about. So this is a trick if you want a cheap solution
to the plowing problem.
Let the flames begin.
