Front Control arm questions

[chaka]

I updated my front end with 96 Cobra brakes, spindles, and rotors. Now the Camber is all out of sorts. I adjusted the stock camber plate and it is maxed out, but the wheels are still off. (top out, bottom in)

I was hoping to swap some T-Bird control arms in to kick the bottom out, but not sure what years had the longer control arms. Any help would be great.

You said it yourself "stock camber plate". It's time for aftermarket caster/camber plates.........

Oh yeah and that wheel sticking out at the top would be positive camber and if they were sticking in it would obviously be negative camber.

Do the aftermarket plates allow for more camber. I always thought the plates just gave you the ability to adjust the castor.

Still would like to swap the control arms to increase the track.

If you have the front controll arm off then you could replace the bushings with poly bushings but let me tell you it is a PITA.

Some aftermarket plates such as Granatelli have just castor adjustment. Most though have camber and castor and that is the proper way to adjust camber and castor. The factory unit is very limited and adjust two at a time, you can't get it quite right.
