I haven't rotated the tires on our 2018. Almost 50,000 miles and no uneven wear. It's even a all wheel drive. The alignment is good.

it must out of alignment , does the gearbox run nice snd smooth ?

I set rocker side clearance at .015, most times I have to take a little off the shaft stand retainers to get it perfect. Perfect valve tip alignment with perfect side clearance

Does the water pump impeller run true? Were the belts in perfect alignment? All I can think is that there was some runout that caused it to fatigue over time.

Be careful trying to bend those tubes for alignment, it cost me a trip to the radiator shop.

...lift one tab at a time and move it over a thread. Do the same rotating around the threads. Red are the lock tabs Yellow are the flat alignment tabs Green is the alignment tabs for the door skin There are reman clips available 521 Restoration has them but they might not be the same.

Not sure why the alignment shop didn't do that. Should be part of the job you paid for.

My alignment machine has specs from the 40’s to 2016. I know it takes a little research to figure out the specs for radial tires.

Chilton has been with me all week while working on the suspension. I like having the hard copy. We are going to give a try at doing the alignment ourselves on the Dart. We will see how it goes.

Ring end gap to tight? Tight thrust bearing ? Tight starter to flywheel alignment? Loosen the starter and move it away from the flywheel . Sometimes those starters have a large hole on one end Defective starter?

Once you get the alignment done and all of the fiddly stuff corrected, you'll get plenty of "smiles" to the gallon. NICE looking truck!!!

Any reference to videos to assist with alignment/adjustment would be appreciated.

I still do a lot of suspension work at my job as a fleet mechanic for the state of IL, but we have to farm out all alignment work. And the ones that are fully adjustable but the alignment guys only do toe and go's on, blows my mind. Even when they send a printout, and camber and caster is...

How can I check for port alignment when the manifold is in place? The gaskets line up with the manifold ports and the head ports when I check them independently

Yes, no alignment pins on our stuff. Well, the heads do.

I figured the Z bar alignment was going to possibly be a problem. I guess the old bellhousing must not have had a dual transmission pattern? Don't let it get you down.....he'll figure it out. :thumbsup:

Also check the yoke alignment if they are not correct it can cause a vibration

I called the following: 1) Simpson Frame- the guy wants $450 for the front-end alignment. $175 per hour. 2 1/2 hours for a front alignment seems really excessive. Can't imagine it takes 2 1/2 hours for an alignment. Being that the last guy (Unfortunately, he went out of business) who aligned it...

You cannot re-clock the steering wheel at the top, it will only go on one way as it has a master spline. Check your connection at the box/coupler, at the box/pitman arm, and your alignment.

ok, got it. thanks for the replies. Since it went together smoothly i think all is assembled correctly, will correct the alignment via the tie rod sleeves this winter. Michael

Hey man. It’s 40 min or so from my place

Marlo's Frame & Alignment, Van Nuys. Marlin’s did all the alignments for Restorations by Julius when he had his Mopar restoration shop in LA. Cars Automotive & Muffler, Redondo Beach Steve at Johnson Alignment, Torrance Simpson Frame and Alignment, Hollywood on Gower. Tyerman's Automotive...

Depends on the shop. Most large chain alignment shops won’t even do an alignment on my car because of the aftermarket control arms and modified parts on my car. If they will, they will usually only set the factory alignment, which should NEVER be used with radial tires. Custom alignments cost...

Mounting bolts have cam-like washers that are rotated to adjust alignment.

Are your tie rod ends the same length? This could just be an alignment issue. Those power boxes are about 2 3/4 turns lock to lock…

Glad to here you finally got it sorted out Brian. Tom is a great guy. We always used to use broken input shafts for alignment tools, because we didn't have anything else.

I think I would be finding another alignment shop, they saw you coming and did shoddy work also.

all my front parts are original style The seam pertty straight with the steering wheel. I would say if any thing the bottom of the wheels look in a bit.

Great read over there at FBBO!!

Typically the blades break due to improper tension and alignment. Obviously too loose allows the blade to flex or "wobble".
