1973 Dart Sport
So the show is officially postponed but there's still an autocross event scheduled for Sunday. I'm not sure this thing is really race ready but I'm going to keep working and make the call tonight about what car I'm taking. It not a serious race so I can always treat it like a spirited shake-down run. I just don't want to puke oil everywhere and ruin the course lol. I got the car back on the ground and my new sway bar thrown on after a trip to home depot for some longer bolts. (seriously, how hard is it to make something that just works/fits for these cars). Measured the camber and was hoping to not have to make any adjustments but I'm sitting 0 degrees on one side and +1.5 on the on the other. Time to open that can of worms. I got a good idea on how it's done from a few old threads on here so it shouldn't be too eventful. I thing I only have 3 degrees of adjustment so I'll probably just max out them out and dial it back.
The good news is that car IS sitting level now so it turns out my suspicions of that k-member being tweaked were right. Hopefully that solves the issue with my passenger side tire rubbing and the hood no lining up properly. We'll see.
