Yes, I do all my own alignments and my cars drive well. It does take some practice. And some special equipment, I use a Fastraxx caster/camber gauge, a set of turn plates and toe plates.

Or week :rofl:

I am still working on this Snap On alignment gauge project and need some light bulbs, but no idea what number they are. They have the same end on them as a 194 bulb that might be found under a car dash. However the other end looks like a vintage Christmas tree bulb. They are halogen and the...

...no engine in the car, I would move those front jack stands to the trans crossmember sub frame. To help the front of the car droop down into alignment. Those cars flex all over the place when jacking them up. First clue right now with the way you have it, do the doors hang low when you try...

I really recommend that everyone learns to do their own alignment. All that is required is a digital angle finder or a caster camber gauge a tape measure and four floor tiles greased. These cars usually can be set up with about a half degree of negative camber and then the max caster that can...

2nd picture obviously has no damage. I was showing how off center both shock mounts are on my Dart. Alignment is fine. Question is would the factory do this on the assembly line to move the car along? Other Darts I was referring to also had the same damage on the drivers side.

Changing the Camber will change the Toe and could change the Caster. I would take it to an alignment shop that has experience with torsion bar suspension on these cars.

Bought it at a swap meet last fall. Said it was rebuilt and looked that way.

Problem solved. It was the position of the oil pump causing the alignment issue. I was able to rotate the oil pump a little then tried inserting the distributor gear/shaft again and was able to align it with the front intake bolt at the #1 cylinder. Thanks for all the info about how I can make...

Sand and spray the door jam and the inside of the fender first, test alignment of new panels and then sand the outer surfaces to paint. Be sure the paint is a good match, otherwise you will have to blend it to the existing paint.

Mine is doing good after the last alignment. Knock on wood.

...in and adjusted, the tires are on, the LCA bolts were tightened and the UCA cam bolts were left slightly loose so I can move them during alignment. Awhile back, I bought this alignment gauge. It has a magnetic base to stick to the hub. The outer bubbles are for camber, the inner is...

That's one way to do it I guess, but I don't know how you would know you are shoving it in the hole far enough. Too far doesn't really matter. I found the diagram:

…& I was just wondering what project to do this winter. No way to cheat and get close w/o fiddling with my alignment?

Grab some longer trans to bellhousing bolts and cut the heads off. Then screw them in and use as alignment dowels.

Factory used some sort of epoxy, I would replicate that and rivet it through the alignment holes.

I need some guidance on initial set up of front suspesion and wheel alignment on my 74 Duster. I am in the process of installing a completely new front suspension which includes a new Borgeson power steering box, pst 1.08 torsion bars, Dr Diff front disk brake kit, Dr Diff front suspension kit...

Morning! Late start to the day. Weather is cooperating, so that’s a good thing. Firebird, align doors, as painter had them off, and i see alignment isnt great. More work i wasnt planning on. Once glass is in, door gets heavier and drags on the striker bolt. It can touch but not drag. And the...

When I installed the shaft I did it with the alignment notch pointing towards the center of the motor for the driver side notch in front. Then I verified all the oiling holes pointing down. There is nothing else I can do with respect to geometry or alignment…..

Now that the alignment is done, getting the tailpipes installed now.

Getting the alignment rechecked since I made some ride height adjustments.

...74 360 block and '66 904 automatic bellhousing with early 904 (small hub) converter with B+M weighted flexplate ...on engine run stand. I cannot stop the starter from grinding. I have tried several starters to no avail. Is the tin spacer/cover required for proper starter/converter alignment?

Great advice has already been given. One more thing, after you're done you'll need a front end alignment immediately.

But now that you can see that the single pulley is shorter than the other one, hopefully your belt alignment works out

...the TC to the engine, remember that there is one offset bolt on the torque convertor/flexplate- it only fits in one position. Fit the TC to the flexplate ahead of time, and mark them both with a daub of paint so alignment will be less frustrating when you're lying on your back under the car...

I had it for quite a few years. Stretching helps. Proper alignment is a must and muscle and nerve stem helps kill the pain. Tylenol or Ibuprofen won't help. Neither does whiskey!

If you have the correct tools to do an alignment then a machine is not necessary. But your talking some real dough for a Camber / caster gauge, toe plates, bump steer gauge, turn tables, scale plates and platform, laser level. Is it worth inventing in all of this to do your own alignment when a...

For race cars most of the time the alignment is done on scales and yes the drivers weight is necessary to know as it does have an impact.

Somebody tries to charge me 300 bucks for an alignment better have a pre plastic surgery and disease free Pam Anderson to give me a good time.
