M&M C/C plates not adjustable enough....

[The Green GT]

I put my plates on yesterday and my uncle brought it to get aligned today. I was fishing so I couldnt go. The guy who did it could only get the drivers side at -2.2* and the passenger side at -1.4*. I can SEE the wheels tilting. The drivers side it better than before, but the passenger side is about the same.

I thought M&M C/C plates were adjustable as hell? I was thinking and the only thing i can think is that I need to make the hole I drilled into a slot so I can move the entire plate. Does that sound right to you?

dang.....that doesn't sound right....

 

[BlackVert]

can't you flip them over? that lets you adjust them the other way

+1

but that might be for caster

they do make offset bolts for the strut itself where it attaches to the spindle

I just had MM caster/camber plates installed and mine are worse. I could only get them to factory spec. The shop who installed them said after the springs settle in that I will beable to get more adjustment out of it. But now that someone else has the same problem I have my doughts about the springs settling down.

I just got mine put on but I let my shop do it. With the stock ones I wasnt able to get no where close but wit the C/C plates they was able to get it right.

did you put the top plates in the positive position or the negative position? I'm thinking this might be the problem. I also hope you scribed the position of the fourth hole correctly, or else that might be messing it up...

Call MM when you have time....there always very helpful on the phone.

I put tehm in the positive orintation. Ill call them when i get a chance.

On a positive note.......

I've had my MM C/C plates for about 20,000 miles and my alignments have been spot on.

Tire wear has, of course, improved greatly and evenly. I have the same size tire all around, so rotating the tires every 6K miles give all four some time up front.

I didn't install my C/C plates myself, cause it was added with some other major stuff at the time. Just saying that there definitely is a solution to your problem. MM is always top notch with help.

hmm...i'm not liking this...still have yet to get alignment but it'll probably be a few weeks until i make it there....please post up withever the fix is.

same problem here. I made the strut hole a little bigger to get more adjustment and it helped alot. My alignment tech told me if the control arm bushings and ball joints are worn out it will be difficult to get it into specs. I'm gonna try replacing all that stuff and see what happens.

I know the MM plates got me alot closer than without.

I had no problems with mine, and im running Eibach Sportlines which are just as low as the H&R race springs. I called MM and they gave me the specs for an SN95 Mustang lowered 2", and i brought it in to Firestone where i was working at the time and one of the techs did it for me for free in about 10 minutes after hours one night. He had no problems, and tire wear seems to be fine.

I had a shop install everything so I guess I need to check it out better and call MM. I called the shop and they will check it out today also.
All my stuff is new just installed.
I must say that the shop "THE MUSTANG SHOP" did a real good job and are great people to work with
