Front end alignment
I have a 57 with original fron end and radial tires. The front end was aligned with factory settings. The tires are wearing. I was told that the alignment settings should be a degree or two different for radial tires. Is this true and if so does anyone have the correct settings?

Front camber - zero degrees
Front caster - 3 to 3-1/2 degrees (with power steering - you may prefer less with manual steering)
Front toe-in - zero to 1/16" TOTAL toe-in
Rear camber - zero to 1/2-degree negative
Rear toe-in - 1/16" TOTAL toe-in (1/32" per side, split equally across the thrust centerline).
I wouldn't drive a car with 1/2" spacers.
