Motoblag's '71 Duster
Set ride height to "lol" high in the front:
No fender, easy access to the caster/camber adjusters:
With fender, a bit harder:
So off it comes. If you'll recall the driver's side had free spark plug separators and a Bic. We've got something else on the passenger side:
Yup, a piece of silverware dropped out. wut.
Antenna wire has been getting pinched in the hood hinge for a while:
Now for the main event, alignment!
(Not pictured: several hours of spinning the steering wheel back and forth on some DIY turn plates, adjustment, jouncing, repeat a dozen times per side)
End readings for tonight, still some tweaks:
That's +2.5 caster, -7/8* and -1 1/4* camber. Per the skosh chart caster is right on but I've got too much negative camber. Most of my time was spent chasing my tail trying to get the camber into spec without ******* up the caster.
