Does anyone know what the 'correct' specs are for a 74 1/2 US spec TR-6 rear
wheel camber? According to Haynes it's -1 degree plus/minus 1/2 degree.
Bentley says +1 degree to -1/4 degree.... quite a bit of difference!
Just had mine checked, and the left shows -.9 degree, the right -1.4 degree.
So I don't know if I have a problem or not. Was a little suprised at how much
negative camber though. Car has been completely rebuilt...frame is straight,
took hours measuring it against the 50+ measurements in the Bentley manual.
Suspension rebuilt, new 'stock' springs from TRF (no aluminum spacer), and yes
the trailing arm brackets were installed correctly with the '1 notch' bracket
being installed outboard, and the '3 notch' bracket installed inboard...the
notches are facing up.
Do I have a camber problem.........???
Does anyone know why front-end castor would be out of spec. From the computer
printout of the alignment, it says front caster should be from 1.8 to 3.8
degrees. Mine shows 1.2 degrees on the left and .6 degrees on the right. It
appears that no adjustment to caster is possible. All other specs (camber,
toe) are within spec. Anything to worry about or not?
Thanks!
