    Toe Alignment Inches To Degree Conversion

    The alignment shop uses degrees in their software for toe instead of inches. What should the 1/16" to 1/8" toe be in degrees? Edit: And should the settings be the same side to side?

    Alignment Woes

    ...to squint really hard or something, but it’s a 2013 Dart. If that’s what they enter into the computer, you’ll leave with a pretty darn good alignment for your set up. These are those specs- And if they make it green with these specs, you’ll have a good alignment. A little extra caster...

    On the Streets!

    After getting a wheel alignment this week, I finally got the opportunity to put up some street miles on my 1970 VF Valiant Hardtop! Still a few minor things to sort but it was a great experience after all these years of work in the garage!

    I'll get around to it eventually...

    Alignments , the guys are hacks. I took a Ford Taurus to a Firestone years ago for Tires and a 4 wheel alignment. They had the car all day and when I went to pick it up the kid working on it said I need "aftermarket cams" to set toe in the rear. I said to the counter guy "that's bullshit can I...

    My plans for my 69 Dart Swinger 340

    ...2.) Add front disc brakes. 3.) Add rear air shocks. 4.) Adjust front ride height up maybe 2 inches. What order should I do all this? I know the front will need an alignment after the ride height adjustment and probably after the disc brake conversation. Any suggestions on kits to do this?

    Ultimate swap confirmation

    The trans Does NOT have to come down to swap the TO fork. The fork comes out easily enough with just a tug. To get it back in, it only takes a careful alignment then a heavy bop to get it started, then a final push. I have done this many times.

    71 Demon door gap/alignment

    ...this point the front top is so tight its not correct. The front bottom corner is out a tad further than i'd like from the rocker but again alignment at the top of the door jam is good.. Where should I be landing up front gap wise and height wise from the door to the cowl? Aligning...

    Front End Alignment Los Angeles Area?

    When I left the underside of the alignment rack people were having conniptions because prices on a thrust alignment was going from $50 to $60. I paid $125 to have my 12, 1/2 ton 2wd done, I then bought a pair of Michelin tires for the front and the inner edges of both front tires were shot in...

    Installing linkage clips

    They won't clip on if the linkage isn't in alignment i.e. z bar. They should almost go on by hand. I use a needle nose pliers.

    Stop in for a cup of coffee

    Alignment, slacked off and just set toe. Nothing dragging in steering at all. I thinnin the forbidden wheel spacers may be playing a part in the way it steers.

    '66 Dart headlight buckets

    Maybe it could be a different year bucket, but it interchanges with the right side with no alignment issues? Maybe if someone has a parts book, they could confirm that the numbers are the same or different. I can make this one work, but I'll have to redrill the mounting holes for the bucket and...

    Sleeved 340

    Many of our Race engines have a sleeve or two. Not from damage but from thin spots when sonic tested. Most good machine shops can put one in and maintain alignment BUT it takes an excellent machine shop to put in all eight and maintain geometry.

    how to remove the steering wheel?

    ...of the pitman arm was done the same way the old one was. That´s not the problem. Possibly because of an aftermarkete steering coupler and no play in the new box....as said before i´ll check alignment this off-season (going racing 3rd of october, no time before that). Thanks at all! Michael

    Intake Manifold Head Hight Alignment

    How do you know the intake is too high? By alignment of the ports or by the gap on the China walls?

    Vintage Alignment Systems

    ...to that accurate.. For many reasons.. A) Operator Error B) Calibration issues C) Equipment issues I worked in enough shops, They hire alignment techs based on an interview with the interviewer often having no knowledge of how to tell a tech from a poser.. So throw a guy who's been doing lube...

    Upper control arm replacement

    I replaced mine on a Duster. Just took the wheel off & unbolted them. Made a note of the direction of the alignment cams. Had to whack the spindle to get the ball joint loose.

    Inside tire wear on the front.

    How does it steer? Does it want to dart side to side? Often you can feel generally what’s up with the front end. What does the eyeball alignment inspection say?

    Alignment change after changing from drum to disc

    ...times using the popular 1973-76 A body 11” discs. Throughout the years, I’ve noticed that every time I’ve made this switch, the front end alignment changes a LOT. Going from drum to disc meant the tires went toe OUT by a lot. The opposite happens when you pull discs from a car and put drums...

    Stop in for a cup of coffee

    Yes, where the fill neck goes into the tank. It has to be close to perfect alignment or you will leak gas out when you fill it up and drive. New rubber seals may help. Or not.

    Inside tire wear on the front.

    Which could be caused from simple poor alignment, ride height, or in my case shot ball joints.

    What is this..??

    ...I don't remember removing anything like this when I tore it all down...but it has been a long time since I did . Also, does it matter how the cam bolt "washers" are installed..meaning, should the washer be facing down or up..? Does it not matter because it'll be adjusted during the alignment..?

    [WANTED] A body hub

    I’m looking for a front hub assembly for a 66 Barracuda, snap. I took my car to a guy I’ve known for a long time for an alignment. Long story short, they put the wrong lug nuts on the ps wheel and spun the studs in the hub . Thanks in advance
