For my 1931 Fordor project the car was running fine when put away, is it advisable to look at this nonetheless?

In a nutshell....

Wheelbase possibly different between sides possibly affecting Ackerman turning (scrubbing of one tire during turning).

Caster angle or inclination angle of the spindle which potentially causes the vehicle to pull in one direction.

Camber causing premature wear on either the inside or outside tread of tire. This also affects the surface contact patch of the tire when going into a turn or curve.
