4 Wheel Alignment

[captainofiron]

So my car has been pulling pretty hard to the left the past few weeks, so finally I had some extra time and I also got a nifty 4 wheel alignment coupon for 39.99, SWEET, its from some company called Brake Masters

So I go in and the guy says, sure thing we can do it, and puts my car up on the machine, so I waited about 15 minutes, and he comes up to me and says, hey man, Im sorry but here is the problem
Front End
Camber: LF: -0.5 RF: -0.4 Manufacturer Spec range: 0.9->-0.1
Caster: LF: 4.0 RF: 4.5 Manufacturer Spec range: 5.3->4.3
Toe: LF: 0.24 RF: 0.32 Manufacturer Spec range: 0.10->-0.10
Cross Camber: -0.1 Manufacturer Spec range: 0.7->-0.7
Cross Caster: -0.5 Manufacturer Spec range: 0.7->-0.7
Total Toe: 0.56 Manufacturer Spec range: 0.2->-0.2

Rear Axle
Camber: LR: 0.1 RR: -0.5
Toe: LR: 0.03 RR: -0.15
Thrust Angle: 0.09 Manufacturer Spec range: 0.15->-0.15

The values in Red are the ones off

So anyways, the guys says, well it is off, and also contributing was the Left front tire was low on air, much less than the other side

So The guy tells me, well I dont want to take your money, We dont have the specialty tool required to adjust the camber and caster on your car. So I dont feel right taking your money and only adjusting the toe and you still having a problem.

I was amazed that they just didnt adjust what they could and if I came back with complaints just blame it on my tires, So its pretty good feeling not to get shafted.

Anyways, anybody know about this specialty tool? He gave me a print out of what this bad boy looks like

Also if any of you have any specific experience with alignments on the F-body let me know if the specs on my car are far off or the manufacturer specs are ok

You can do the alingment with out that tool. Just going to take a long long time. That tool if I recall slids into the control arm and body and moves it different directions. You can losten the control arm and just wack it a few times to move it but its a pita to get right. I think that tool also adjust your caster as well

i like the camber,mre caster would be nice but 4 degrees is ok, if he fixed the toe and you keep air in the tire :) you should be happy

Thanks for the tips guys.

Yea its the same "specialty" tool for both camber and caster
