alignment

Hey guys...first post here but been lurking for a while & know many of you from hanging out at various events (I'm the white/orange SS running in HPDE).

Anyhow, this sounds EXACTLY like something I went through recently. I was convinced it was a bad shock or a spring binding issue but it turned out to be a loose camber bolt. It had backed off just enough to let the A-arm move around under cornering loads but didn't show any weird readings on the alignment rack. Took a while to figure that one out... :wink:

Whatever it is, hope you get it resolved soon. Looking forward to seeing everyone at Cresson :D

Might be a problem on an F-body (all but 3rd gen) but the Mustang has a strut front end. The camber plate would be moving around quite a bit and would be VERY noticeable.

Jerry, were you noticing any clunking noises from the front end?

Have you seen the thread over on Corner-Carvers about the Ford front shocks from Bilstein were failing/bending at the spindle to shock attach point?
