12:05 Garage- ’70 Duster build
In preparation for Holley Moparty, I decided to have the alignment checked/adjusted to a more aggressive setting. It was originally set to -1 degee of camber, and 5 degrees of caster. I did notice one of the tires wearing on the outside which was strange and what made me want to get it checked. Turns out one of my strut rods had come slightly loose. It's so frustrating to have stuff like that happen. I nut and bolt check many things on this car regularly since I beat on it often. I totally missed checking the strut rods. Oh well, add it to the list of things to check occasionally. Now I have -1.5 camber, and 6 caster. It's so much better! Yesterday I took a 90 degree turn at 40mph and the car just stays flat.
Oh, and the starter decided to take a **** while I was at the alignment shop too. I managed to get it cranked to make it home. I got it changed out at home without much issue. I did have to drop the drag link off the pitman arm to get the started past the TTI headers. I'm glad it failed when it did and not in the paddock at the track!
