recently I did a motor swap. I left the motor and tranny bolted together, the motor remained bolted to the kmember so the entire front end was one big assembly. I put this assembly in a diff car. after getting everything in place I could tell just by looking at the wheels that they are off.after rebolting the idler arm on the pass side to the frame I think all I have to do is readjust the struts to the correct angle right??? what angle is this,what tool is used to measure the angle??

 

haveing been a auto tech for the past 13 years i will give you some info..

The OEM will tell you to have .5 or half a degree of positive camber ... Which will work fine if you are running stock tires and wheels, If you are running larger wheels and tires i would run 0 degrees of comaber (or strait up and down) down to half a degree negative camber! and more than that and you will compromise alot more tire wear but it will handle even better (but im sure your not a track racer)

The best thing you could do is get the car in the ball park by eyeballing the camber so the wheel is strait up and down and take the care to a good alignement shop and have them set the camber to .25 positve camber (if you have stock wheels) or 0 degrees if you have wider larger wheels and set toe to 0 total toe also..

P.S. you also want half a degree more positve caster on the right side than the left (this helps road crown)
