3RD Gen F Body Wheel Alignment???
Anyone have any tips or tricks for the front end settings on these front ends? Single control arm with the strut the wheels move a lot when the front end comes up. With the factory strut plates on the top I can only get about 3/4* negative camber at ride height.

Eman, I have built several 3rd gen packages and have found it necessary to install an aftermarket upper strut mount that is adjustable in both directions [caster and camber] Also, the tie rods should be approximately parallel to the lower control arm. And a damper on the center link is a good idea to help with shimmy with the wheels set down.

Just wanted to know where others have set their adjustments at for best results with the geometry of this suspension and how it changes so much when the front end travels. I'm thinking shooting for zero toe and zero camber with the front end raised up 2" measured at the front spoiler as that seems to be the height at acceleration. |

I agree with zero camber and as much positive caster as the adjustment will allow. They are all different.
