I assume you mean with the axle off the springs, resting on its spring pads. If so, the caster angle should be 3 degrees. The camber measured at the wheel or hub is 3 degrees positive. If the hubs are off, then measure the king pin inclination (tilt toward center of axle) which should be 7.5 degrees. If you have Mike Sherrell's book "TCs Forever", there is an excellent explanation with diagrams on page 111. -- Chip Old 1948 M.G.
