Zappo Posted August 24 Report Share Posted August 24 Fixed an alignment problem myself. I am having a hard time finding a place to do the alignment. Called 3 different places only to find they don't do alignments, even though the websites say they do. they mechanic I used to have do it can't since his machine is broken. I ordered new steering rack boots since one is damaged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmdubya1198 Posted August 25 Report Share Posted August 25 I've found most places are incompetent when it comes to alignments anyway. You really need to know a place that takes the time to do it right. Poor alignments drive me nuts. Especially when I pay someone to do it, and they can't be bothered to get the steering wheel straight. Then they'd rather just make excuses, like the car MUST have been wrecked or something. The last time I got my 2000 aligned, he used P2 alignment specs then said it should be the same. Then tried to tell me it's because my car is lowered that my steering wheel is nearly 45 degrees to the left. I went to my cousin's job, we put it on the rack, and he had it perfect within 15 minutes. Wheel is perfectly straight. Imagine that... Okay, rant over!

Zappo Posted August 25 Report Share Posted August 25 I will keep searching around. The alignment isn't perfect, but much better than it was. I already know I can make 2 adjustments to make it better. I currently have 2 of my race tires on the front (street legal), and the car really likes to turn into corners now. Once I replace the rack boots I will try to find a place to do it. My spider needs alignment as well since I replaced all the steering linkage. I aligned it as well and it is close, but it is easier than the Volvo, so that may be my test; align this right and then I will bring in the Volvo.

Ihatespeedbumps Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 Swapped out an old Kenwood double DIN for a mint HU-803 I found in the junkyard. Surprisingly everything works on it and the CD player doesn't click! Also installed a new shifter bushing and took pictures of my recent wide band and Snow meth injection install. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappo Posted September 6 Report Share Posted September 6 Replaced the lower control arms. Ball joints were still good, but one bushing on each side was worn out. Hopefully this fixes my strange steering wheel pull under braking. Replaced the driver side steering rack boot. I noticed it was damaged when I was fixing the alignment a few weeks ago. Tearing in the rear brakes on the spider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
