Front end alignment

I copied the picture to a file and then blew it up so I could read it. He has camber set at +1/2 on both sides which is dead center of the specs.
Those specs are relatively meaningless. Those are old specs for bias ply tires. Wild R/T is spot on.
 
Positive caster is awesome if you have power steering, but my car is manual steering so the more positive the caster the harder it is to steer at parking lot speeds.
 
Anyone aligning these cars who worries more about tire wear over how the car drives obviously doesn't grasp that the tires are gonna die of old age long before they wear out....
Even the tires on my 97 2500 diesel are way past their prime. 3 are 4405 and one is 3605 and all still have 11/32nds of tread on them. They worry me every time I get up to around 60 mph. Right now I can't afford new tires but I don't hit the freeways much these days.....

True. Me, I'd rather have better tracking at 65 mph, than having to put a little more arm on the steering wheel at low speed.
