I did a short search and realized that there is way too much to read to find what I'm looking for. Does anybody have any info on what specs work best for aligning a 69 Camaro Z/28 with 235-60-15 Goodyear Eagle GT2 radial tires and stock suspension? The only mods are Energy suspension urethane bushings. I aligned it about 6 years ago when I finished the restoration and found the steering too light and twitchy at high speed. By twitchy I mean the car reacts quickly with not much steering input but feels unstable like it wants to roll over. The steering pump may be the cause of the light feel (too much pressure) but the twitchy feel is the alignment I'm sure. I don't have anyone around here locally that I trust to align the car without using proven specs so can anybody give me some ideas for nice handling Touring car?
The specs I used were...
Left Caster 1.40*
Left Camber -0.31*
Left Toe in 0.05"
Right Caster 2.02*
Right Camber -0.39*
Right Toe in 0.05" Total 0.10"
Factory specs are...
Caster Pos 1/2* +/- 1/2*
Camber Pos 1/4* +/- 1/2*
Toe in 1/8" to 1/4" Total.
Thanks
