Finally Got The Alignment Right
As the title says. The last piece of the puzzle was put in place this week. I pulled out the adjustable Moog caster/camber bushings and replaced them with solid Specialty Products Company (SPC) ones. The closest I could get camber with the Moogs was a degree to a degree and a half positive. Caster was over 5 degrees, but not even.
I’ve owned a SPC Fastrax caster/camber/toe gauge, but never used it like I have this time. This time I was guided by Tom at Tech at SPC. He advised me to first use 0 degree camber sleeves to get a base. We did that and found how much we were off. Tom gave me the model numbers for the sleeves needed and what position to place them at. I also weighed down our Ex as if we were towing.
I used the Fastrax and camber was dead on 0 for the right side and almost dead on for the left. Both sides were dead even at 4 degrees. Toe registered at less than a 16th inch.
Driving results were absolutely awesome. The Ex feels like it did when brand new
If anyone wants to do their own alignment, I very much recommend SPC and Tom in Tech.
