ALighnment help needed 70 Coupe
Last year I had my 70 aligned with older tires. I did not care for the way it handled. It felt a little squirrely. I since purchased new tires. It got a little better but still not satisfied. I think they set the car up for bias ply tires. Below are the final readings in degrees. From what I read hat with radials that the toe should be 0.015 F & R. Would this difference be enough for it not to feel right? I intend to have it realigned. What are the best specifications for the street. 235 60 15 front and 255 60 15 rear.
Front Left/Right
Camber 0.7/0.4
Caster -0.4/0.4
Toe 0.25/0.24
Rear Left/Right
Camber -0.9/-1.1
Toe 0.13/0.16
Thanks

first off your camber should be Zero to -.5*. i don't know why they set it with positve camber. do you have power steering? if you do you can set the castor to +3 to +4* , with manual steering you probably want to keep it about +2 to +3*. you also say they set it to positve toe. is that correct or a typo? you want - toe with about -1/8" total (not sure what degree) then you rear camber and toe you want about the same as front.
