Alignment Help

To the op, if you're doing it at home, one thing that kept biting my ***, was do not jack the car up. It changes everything. Once I drove it around, then onto turn plates, i did what you were told, and perfect. Also, I bought one of those Longacre kits with the digital angle finder. The part that has the legs would never sit repeatedly in the same spot.

I played around with the alignment for most of the day yesterday. It was absolutely exhausting. I learned a lot and still need to tweak, but the key apparently is what you said about jacking the car up. Yes, I needed to jack it up to reach the cam bolts, but after making an adjustment, I needed to roll the car out, then back onto the turn plates again to see what effect the changes I made were. As a side note; I took some before readings of the alignment my local (60 miles away) shop did and was very disappointed. These guys are supposed to know what they are doing on older cars, but apparently not my Mopar. The car did not feel planted in the front, especially at higher speeds. That is why I purchased the Quicktrick system. I am hoping to get my car spot on so it is enjoyable to drive.
