ok, ive pulled my hair out on this one. Ive checked inside and out of the HAMB, including the Ford Barn. Ive completely rebuilt the front end on my ‘51 Shoebox and have adjusted the toe and camber, but im not sure how to attack caster. I see there is a special wrench that seems to be impossible to find. Anyone have a suggestion on how to find an equivalent wrench? Thanks in advance...
I made the required wrench by bending up an open end wrench and welding a socket on it. If you want more info e mail me at [email protected] I can e mail you some pics
I also made one, but if you can find a big enough crow's foot wrench, that will do. For the Mercury, it measures 1 5/16", I'm not sure if the Ford is smaller.
The caster adjustment is the easy one because the rotating part is fairly well exposed at the bottom of the control arm. The camber adjustment is the tough one where the bent wrench comes in handy.
