'59 Front End Alignment Question

[suede57ford]

Spinning the shaft to add some caster is a good idea. You are limited to the amount of caster you can add with shims, as that can affect the camber too.

Any added caster will make the car drive more like a madern car.

The original specs are to make the car steer easy, especially with manual steering, as that is what was attractive in the 50's.  I would use a more modern specs to do the alignment.  You may add yto the steering effort some, but if you have power steering or a Borgeson box you want to sacrifice some effort for better road feel, the added caster is necessary.

Thanks for the tip.
