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.
1st alignment was probably not quite right and was wearing the inside edges if the tires. Too much toe out.
2nd try was better but seemed to still wear the tires.
3rd try at different shop was good.
Now, after replacing a P.O.S. made in Mexico wheel bearing, the tires squeal (scrub) and dart around when accelerating and the car lifts the nose. Taking measurements when lifting the car shows the toe changing drastically (1/2"). I tried to compensate a little with a small toe adjustment but now it's back to the 1st problem.
Did supporting the car at the jacking points cause alignment changes?
