    The SN65 project car

    I believe they call it glass setting tape. I had some in the door re seal kit for my old Chevy Truck. Came from chevyduty.com, but I'll bet a good glass shop should have it. FYI, the stuff I used required some oil to make it expand and clamp the glass. Several years later it's drying out...

    Alignment drift?

    Ok original poster here again, I'll try to clear up some confusion. 1. The car does not have a "lift and stay" problem like the one in the linked story. The lifting is slight when accelerating and returns to normal when you back off the throttle. The tires squealing and darting when...

    Alignment drift?

    Ok, I spoke with a guy at Baer. He said I should just order the kit for a 70 Mustang, taper on the knuckle end is the same as a Granada. The kits only come with a sleeve and the tie rod end on the knuckle. Sounds like it may work on your application Tim. From the looks of it, the tie rod end...

    Alignment drift?

    I think since Baer just happens to be located in my neck of the woods, I'll make an inquiry tomorrow. I'll let you know what I find out.

    Alignment drift?

    Thanks. Right you are about finding a shop that has techs without pimples and actually know that there are front suspensions that don't have struts:rolleyes: So what about the stock fact that my tie rods have different end tapers now with the non stock spindles? Do I need to go directly to Baer?

    Alignment drift?

    Tie rods are parallel with the center link. It is the car in the avatar and is bone stock under the front with the exception of the Maverick parts. You can watch what happens when you lift the car a little from the center. The spindles travel in a different arc than the ties rods effectivly...

    Alignment drift?

    Well I think the bump steer issue makes the most sense. Those Baer parts look interesting. Any idea what a set goes for? I can't believe I hadn't run accross this info before I swapped in the Granada/Maverick stuff. :shrug: I guess I still would have done it though.

    Alignment drift?

    I'm not mistaking camber for toe. Yes camber angle will effect tire edge wear, but toe will also. Excessive toe in can make the tires appear tilted also. I'm comfortable with camber settings from the last alignment sheet (don't have them at the moment). The toe setting last time was a big...

    Alignment drift?

    Any ideas why the alignment keeps going out on my 66 Fastback? Namely the toe adjustment? Details: V8 car, manual steering, all new suspension parts, less than 15k miles, still check out tight and good condition. Maverick spindles and disk brakes. No nasty potholes or curb whacks by the driver...

    Rocker Adjustment

    They look stock to me. Easiest adjustment method is to do it while the engine is warm and running. Slowly loosen the big nut in the middle until you notice a change in idle or hear a tick. Slowly re tighten it up until it smooths out. Allow time for the lifters to catch up, half turn or so at a...

    Alignment drift

    It's a 289, not a 6. I guess I'll have to dig out my shop manual and take it with for discussion this weekend.

    Alignment drift

    The print out is as follows: camber L-.10 / R-.10 caster L-2.00 / R-1.70 toe L+.05 / R+.06 The guy did spend a while working on it. I watched from the fish tank the whole time. Looked like he was competent and was making multiple measurements and adjustments.

    Alignment drift

    Well the steering is manual but toe could be part of the problem. However there does seem to be visible negative camber on both tires when viewed from the front.

    Alignment drift

    I've got a few thousand miles on a completely new stock front suspension in a 66 Fastback. It has new tires and was aligned at a reputable shop. I've recently noticed the camber is shifted to the negative on both wheels and is wearing the edges of the tires. Any ideas what could cause this...

    mustang vs camaro

    I've never heard of the Mandarin translation. But in Spanish it equates to no go also. "no" meaning "no" and "va" meaning "go" (sometimes)
