Achieving high camber/caster for road race

I sent Farna a pdf on tolerances on ball jointa are the 2nd loosest ball joints as for axel play. The upper is worst to deal with than the lower. Since the UCA is shorter in length the angle of deflection is amplified.

I will see if I can attach the pdf as an attachment, and post in this reply.

Here is the link...

Here Is the Moog version which is what what I go by... I must have misplaced until now. Hopefully Farna has this one, as I may have given both to him.

can be done on all 70 up AMC cars, but... its not required, unless you are doing an upper arm outward relocation like me.

I explained in my thread why I ended up extending the arm. It was planned to add more room for wider rims and tires.

Technically the tilt from pushing out the lower spring location, by moving the upper arm out, you get about .500" extra room over stock. Plus you can run modern rims. Example... 2015 Mustang 18" rims have a 1.24" offset. I am using a 1.25" spacer to center the wheel properly. I have 7.25" of usable space between spring and front spindle mounting face, when both upper and lower arms are moved 1" outward. Enough to fit 10" wide rims, and will be equal to my rear in track width, since I have swapped in a 65" wide truck rear end, making it squared at the corners, instead of trapizoidal, like it was originally, with a track width of arouhd 59" front / 60" rear. Which makes the car squirrely.

It's the only way I could shorten the wheel base, to get a better track width to wheel base ratio. Making a big car seem smaller.
