VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND NEWER 1946-1948 '46 coupe alignment help needed

I have replaced all of the front end components on my '46 coupe; the driver's side will still not come into acceptable range for caster and camber, although it is only out by about 1 1/2 degrees. Could it be the arm on the shock absorber unit is bent with age? Can any of the parts be bent back, without heat, to compensate for age/wear and tear to bring it back into the proper range? Any ideas for solutions?

Thanks much, Bob

Years ago, when these cars were "modern" we had a devise to bend the king pin support (cold) to bring the alignment into specs.Perhaps a good OLD front end shop could handle it.

Chevgene...I had a '40 Chev. in my hot rod days and that's what they did then. I do know of an "old time" shop still in town and I'll head over there. Thanks! The first shop I went to basically said there is no way to work with it!
Happy Motoring! Bob
