Front End Alignment Specs?

I thought I had a thread bookmarked regarding front end alignment specifications, but I can't locate it. Also, I don't seem to be using the right words/phrase for the search function.

Can someone post a link to the alignment specs.

Thank you much......

Edit: Found it. It was in the Suspension Section.

Re: Front End Alignment Specs?

In the 60's positive camber was common to accommodate different payloads and bumpy roads. Now many people run firmer suspension w/ less travel and prefer neg camber for cornering.

In the 60's near zero caster was common because it makes manual steering wheel easier to turn and it puts less stress on steering components. Now positive caster is popular because it forces rack return to center and has better straight line tracking.
