Default Re: Chevy II front end alignment

Okay...Only had one beer with dinner so I hope I'm qualified.
You said S/S so I assume you have replaced the strut rod rubbers with heims. You can pull the lower control arms forward some to get enough caster.The upper arms can be shimmed back too...as long as you've got a fairly small front tire so they don't hit the headers.
As mentioned, ideally you want the tie rod ends to line up with the lower ball joint and inner pivot point, whatever that takes. The camber eccentric should be tacked in place, once set. Let's see..what else? Toe in an 1/8th..Standard stuff there.
Meanwhile, if you can limit the front end travel, go ahead then. The toe in gets really wacky at the top ;-)
