Hello all, Currently working on my 74 Duster. Just did an alignment myself at the base garage and noticed a few things; 1) My passenger and driver side tie rods and adjusters are not even. I dont understand because it drives straight and the machine says the toe is good. 2) Noticed my...

Mark the Alignment Cams to get it back close to where it was. Leave the Castle nut loose to catch the assembly when the ball joint breaks free. Got a "Pickle Fork" to separate the joint? Are the replacement arms stock? If you put a jack stand or jack loaded under the lower arm, you won't need...

sure did! calibrated hairy eyeball, just got it back from the shop!

...few of these and fix all the little **** that each of us now has to resolve on our own. I have little good to say about Bouchillon, who clearly knew that the one belt system both looked like crap and was vastly inferior to the factory 2 belt drive, and yet couldn’t be bothered to fix the...

...the refurbished panel? Or Skips like the gear mechanism has some crap in it from being uncovered? Or skips like the window has lost its alignment and is coming out of the track all crooked? I know pictures probably wont help but us that color with the 64 set like details. and stuff...

Thank you! I just confirmed the spot welds at the inner fender are in line with the shock towers. It’s WAY off center. Looks to me like this was indeed done on the assembly line to clearance the drivers side upper shock mount. Interesting…

Wish I could say it's my Friday but working tomorrow OT giving another go at microwave dish alignment. Have a Great Day All, be good (esp. you Hoppy)

...all was done to that old girl. I did notice the terrible body gaps between the door and fender and the hood and fender. Pretty piss poor alignment for such rich looking paint. They should have cleaned that up before they painted it. I love the paint and finish but that cheapens the beauty of...

It's heavy, time consuming work, for sure. Makes me wish I had gotten into another end of it, as suspension and alignment work has made me at least 10 years older than I really am, maybe more.

I did loose an engine (468 BBC) because of the restriction caused by a remote filter mount a few years ago. Even after I cleaned it up and radiused all of the flow path the alignment was still terrible and starved the bearings. I won’t use them any more.

Just had an alignment done mainly due to the car pulling hard to the left, as in I let go of the wheel and the car will make a 90 degree left turn. Got the call from the shop saying it was aligned but pulling to the left still, yay. They said it could be because one of the tires is further in...

Had to grind out one of the pulley holes to get alignment. Worked out OK.

Difficult to get a good front end alignment these days, but will work on the positive caster. Thank you!

@B3RE, get with these folks. They can help you correct the alignment problems.

...make this easier, dial in the bell housing with the bell mounted and torqued to the block. Manual transmissions are much more sensitive to alignment than automatic transmission are. There are several sources for offset dowel pins if needed. RobbMc has good ones. And just because a crank bore...

...good and has good pull. I didnt look in the rear view mirrior to see if was smoking because i was to busy driving. It needs an front end alignment. When got back i shut it off then started it back to see how the timing was since it was up to temp. I was then i noticed a very small amount of...

Sometimes the centering bushing needs a little shaving to get proper alignment/ clearance

by offset do you mean the cam shaped washers? if so, yes, they still retained that. those are how you adjust the arms for alignment.

Seems to be the shortest path. Yup Crank pulley hole alignment question Crank pulley hole off

Classic Auto Air doesn't make any of the compressor brackets themselves. They source the brackets from BPE. Classic Auto Air is not gonna help with any belt alignment, belt squealing, or any other type of compressor install issues. Up to the installer to modify it to make it work.

...I am concerned that it will be a pita to rotate to line up with the pinion shaft retainer bolt upon reassembly. Anyone have any tips on how to make this assembly easier? Tapping the pinion shaft in will make alignment really hard. I had thought this assembly would have a little more clearance.

...one way or the other. But Rusty is right. There is a tool for pushing on brake pedal up to steering wheel or front seat. Hood prop rod works too. Like Leslie makes. I’m not a fan of a “do it yourself alignment.” Maybe to get it close but without turn tables, I believe your pissing in the wind.

I had tried a quicktrick setup once but was frustrated by a couple of things with it. First, had to bungee it to the wheel because it was an aluminum frame and kept falling off. Could not get enough tension on it. Second was the digital gauge setup. To measure caster, you got the vertical bar at...

I'm betting on hood alignment. It is counter intuitive. Lifting the rear causes it to sit lower.

Bellhouse alignment was checked beforehand when I was running an stock 4spd 833.

Ah, I appreciate the info and reply! I got the manual handy and will read over the settings. I thought the QA1 system would be different but it’s pretty much a bolt on / OEM replacement. The car appears to be high since it’s on the jack stands. I torqued down the k member Bolt. I didn’t...

...camp says to use new parts. Both are valid. I decided to clean them up, analyze to see if they are still good, and use 'em if they are. Reboot the ones that need that as well. Heck, who knows what will happen once I get into the process! And yeah, an alignment is a no-brainer. Thanks for that.

out of curiosity what year FSM is that? my '76 tells me to measure from the bottom of the torsion bar socket and shoot for 10 15/16". that feels really high. I have it set at about 10 3/8" with the .92" bars I put in, and it still looks high (although my 33 year old 5 leaf springs in back are...

And here are pictures of the rear end that provide a reference point of the damage. To us, it looked more like panel alignment and small amount of body work, but hey, what did I know?

Well that's good. Sounds like that should be fine.
