Help! Dog Tracking!!

Thank You, I am aware of the shim pack from Hotchkiss. It is the only way to get the thrust angle back to zero, as far as I can see. There must have been a problem with this or Hotchkiss would not have made a shim kit to correct it. It may be more common than you think. 6pk2goDemon is right, I am installing the shim and going to the alignment rack to have it checked.

No, it's not the only way. A lot of the time, if the thrust angle is out enough to actually see it is too far out of spec for shims to correct. At least not without stacking them to thickly. In that instance, it's time for the frame machine. That's why I recommended the alignment rack first, because you never know, it may only be the front being out of alignment causing that illusion. I've seen it a lot. I did my first alignment in 1974 and it's how I made my living, so I know just a little about it. Good luck with it. I am sure you'll get it sorted out.
