Aligment

Rocket 99GT · 01-24-2002, 11:24 AM

I am having an aligment done to my car this weekend, does anyone here heve a particular adjustment that they like or you just let the garage decides the best adjustment.
I read once in "mustang and fast ford" that the mustangs tend to pull more one way therefore you have to adjust the "toe" to counter act for the difference.

Don't worry about the toe. The mechanics at the shop have to do the allignment so that when you pick up the car, & drive it, it goes straight. Now, don't expect the car to go straight for 50 miles either. As long as the car doesn't start pulling right away, then it's fine. When the allignment is done, there should be a 0.5 degree pull purposely put on the car towards the left side. This is done to compensate for the road crown which is the slope that streets have towards the right.
