Wheel Alignment- Perth

[Aussie-67]

My local wheel shop guy retired.  My ride is a 67 coupe, so I need to find another good wheel alignment shop.

Who are you using in Perth for the old school cars?

Barry Curnow did a wheel alignment on my mustang 3 or 4 years ago, I was happy with the result. They are in Myaree

[Aussie-67]

Thanks mate.  I'll give them a call

I recomend doing some homework into wheel alignment, caster, toe and camber so you know what to ask for.
When my wheel alignment guy left me I made my own tools and do it myself

[Aussie-67]

I hear that.  I have the street or track suspension set up so I use their recommended settings.

By interest what are the specs?
Maybe an interesting topic

I typically use the Open Tracker settings.  Sorry, said earlier Street or Track (SoT) but meant Open tracker.  I have the SoT adjustable strut rods and the Open Tracker roller suspension.

Settings as follows (link to the site - https://opentrackerracing.com/tech-info/)

STREET SPECS *
Caster:
+2° to +3.5° Manual Steer
+2.5° to +4.5° Power Steer

Camber:
0 to -.5°

Toe:
1/8″ in

STREET PERFORMANCE SPECS *
Caster:
+2.0° to +3.5° Manual Steer
+2.5° to +4.5° Power Steer

Camber:
-.5° to -1.5°

Toe:
1/8″ in

* Caster and camber settings should be the same on both sides for proper handling.

Good work, interesting at least to me
My specs
Stock suspension and tyres with electric power steering
+ 5.5 caster
0 camber
1/8 toe
Intend to add more caster as return to centre still a little light

[Aussie-67]

That's within the specs above.  Must handle ok.

I was recently charged a significant sum by a reputable shop and its still not right.  Would love to be able to do the alignment myself.

[pmb0186]

No not really, maxxis 195 whitewalls with 0 camber.
I set 0 camber to extend tyre life

Try APE in Lansdale. Few ex WA Suspension guys there and are pretty diligent.

[Aussie-67]

Thanks mate, thats close to me so I'll
l give them a call. 

[Aussie-67]

[Aussie-67]

In your experience, which turned out better: +2° to +3.5° or +2.5° to +4.5°? For your car, of course.

In a power steering car especially electric power steering the more caster the better. I now run 8.3deg, there is no negative side adding caster
