    Shop Trying To Screw Me During An Alignment?

    I bought a tool very similar to what's linked on here but I bought it from Amazon. Did it myself in a garage with a buddy with some greased up trash bags so the wheels would turn side to side some what easily. So far I've gotten more than 1500 miles on this new set of tires and no unusual wear...

    Shop Trying To Screw Me During An Alignment?

    I bought one similar to that, but from amazon. I used greased up trash bags as turntables to set my caster. I didn't know this till recently when I talked to someone in the know but the specs he left me with, -1.5 caster on both sides is really dangerous and was causing me to get pulled all over...

    I added a .015 shim all the way around the camber is already noticeably better and doesn't seem to wanna pull all over the road as bad, maybe that parts in my head though.

    and that's what threw me too. It's a very reputable shop. They always have classic cars in their parking lot. Wish you were a nearby mechanic.

    Shop Trying To Screw Me During An Alignment?

    I found it for 120 and bookmarked it. I paid 80 for the original alignment. If I wouldve known I wouldve invested in that to begin with. I looked at the reviews and it looks great

    I like the sound of that method. That sounds very doable. My buddy even has a non drive on car lift that might come in handy.

    Shop Trying To Screw Me During An Alignment?

    Thanks for the reassurance I figured he was full of it. I asked him to explain to me how caster would affect the camber and he didn't answer me. I called a few shops around my area and they all seemed to have no idea about the alignment. At least not within a reasonable price range and at the...

    Them not wanting to take their time sounds about right. And that's what I was wondering how the hell did Ford do it without the adjustable back then. I might have to tackle it myself. Thanks

    Shop Trying To Screw Me During An Alignment?

    The only shop in town that can do an alignment on my 65 is telling me I need adjustable strut rods to get my caster (which i know and understand) right. But My tires have less than 3k miles on them and they're almost ruined on the inside shoulder from wear from excessive negative camber. I gave...

    Open Tracker And Doorman Uca Received With A Bad Ball Joint

    I ordered two upper control arms from Doorman. One ball joint I could move with my pinky finger so I sent them back. With the recommendations I have seen everywhere online I went with Opentracker. Being tight on cash I emailed OT and asked if he had any blemished or ugly UCA for a 65. In luck...

    Alternator Light Flickers, Stops When Headlights Are On

    My 65 289 alternator light flickers on occasion. This doesn't happen often but when it does its usually only noticeable at night because of how dimly it flashes. I pull the headlight switch whether it be parking lights or headlights the light stays completely off. I measured the volts at the...
