Is there a way to adjust camber? Do you have to remove the axle to do it? Thanks, David

What about toe in? If they are wearing close to the same amount, that maybe be it

I didn't know toe in could cause that I thought it was a camber issue. I have to find someone who can do this. Bring my list with.

Dave go visit a shop that does class 8 truck alignments my car was done on a modern machine like the one Mitch uses my camber was fine toe-in was not as Mitch mentioned. Also it will show how all four wheels track. I am no alignment expert but my car drives beautifully. I am a big fan of radials as well makes a huge difference in making the car steer easily.

Alignment specs ? They are a bit sketchy as the manufacturers were still trying to figure this out.
Ford changed the toe-in spec from 3/16" to 1/16" [ +or - 1/32"] which was a good change
Castor is set at 5 degrees
Camber was spec'd in inches for some strange reason. 1 13/16" if memory serves . In my option thats a lot, a whole heck of a lot. I'd cut that back to about 1/2 degree.
Both the castor and camber should be positive.

Interesting article reviewing a particular Model A Shop. Thought it was worth a read. Just spreading for general knowledge in the hobby.-

by CurlyA shop can be attached to the house, or a more full scale operation like some of our members have. The shop can often times be a more enjoyable place if you have a well behaved shop dog who knows his way around.
Requirements—
1. Don’t lick the antifreeze
2. Don’t walk through oil spots
3. Ass sniffing the visitors is bad. Especially the female visitors.

by SwastlerNot able to get around well keeps me from doing much A related anymore, but I did make it out to the shop today to make sure the A’s were still there. Good news, they were! Snapped a photo and was wondering who else would share some home shop/garage picsYou do not have permission to view this gallery.

I do not want to get into bashing people. So I,m going to say the model A engine is one of the hardiest to get right when rebuilding them. You could do 2 chev small blocks or Ford small block to 1 model A engine, that is if you do it right. Every one always says how simple they are. But they are not simple to get right....
