Hello All...
I have a 1966 coupe, 289, c4 transmission. I just got finished with a front end suspension rebuild. I replaced both upper and lower control arms, all new bushings, rebuilt the control valve, new idler arm, tie rods, and did the Shelby drop while I was in there. That is the history....
I have now been trying to get her aligned properly. I took her to the go to shop in my area and they cannot get the caster right on her. The best they have it is +2.6 on the driver side but -1.0 on the passenger side. This is causing the car to pull to the right. My other numbers seem to be good but this caster is driving me crazy. I would love to hear some recommendations from you all. From what I have read, adjustable strut rods might be able to help me get these caster numbers a little closer together.
Thanks in advance for any guidance out there....
