The car received an alignment 2 years ago and at the time I had the idler arm replaced. The guys who just replaced my tires are telling me that I need a new idler arm.
Tobor, maybe you should post where you are located. Perhaps some FABO member is familiar with that area and could recommend a competent alignment shop for you to take your car to for a front end inspection and alignment.
As mentioned earlier search this site for the ‘skosh’ chart. That chart gives guidance for what a 60’s A body running modern radial tires should be aligned to. Take a copy of that chart to the recommended shop in your area and verify that is what they are doing.
For your own piece of mind after an alignment always get a written record of the alignment settings that were put on your car. The same goes for components that a shop says need replacing, have them walk you out to your car and have them show you and explain to you the issue.
Also be advised that a competent alignment shop may charge more for an alignment than the box store tire dealers. This is one of those deals where you do get what you pay for.
