1st gen, ran out of camber adjust. Looking at possible new control arms.
I try to drive my 67 Fbird at least a few times a week. I recently noticed that I was getting wear on the tire inner edges. Last time I got it aligned, I told them give it as much caster as you can, and give me a tiny bit of negative camber.
I checked the camber, and I had a touch over -1 degree on driver side, -.5 passenger. I pulled out some shim to get to -.3 on the driver side, but the passenger side had no shims on the front, and a stack on the rear. So I have no more adjustment to reduce camber on the passenger side unless I sacrifice the caster.
1st gen factory steering specs don't leave a lot of adjustment. I have refurbed factory front suspension stuff. Thinking about replacing the control arms.
Is there a basic kit of control arms that give more modern adjustability? Not looking for exotic stuff, but something that gives a nice mild performance drive.
Thanks!
