    Mustang II suspension

     



    Does anyone know the correct caster and camber settings for mustang II setups when you put them in streetrods? My frame guy just uses the specs from a mustang II car and I always feel like there would be something better. I don't think I am getting the best alignment available on my streetrod. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, James

    Assuming all the joints are tight, have the front-end guy toe it in at 1/16" and put another couple of degrees of positive caster in it.

    Yep thats right. Also look at your tires closely to see how the tire is wearing down.You want your tire to wear evenly,and you always need a little toe in.
