740 Alignment Problem 700 1989

Howdy Bruce,

Mark makes a good point. We don't have any idea what the alignment shop setup. If the adjustment specifications cannot be met with normal adjustments, something is wrong. Camber geometry is fixed when the struts are mounted properly.

Is there any reason to think the car has hit a curb or road debris? What is the ride height at each corner? Are the tires all the same tread pattern and size? Are the tires worn or do they wear rapidly? Is the pull caused by the power steering? Are the springs worn out? Is there a broken spring? Is there a bent tie rod or trailing arm? Are the rear wheels properly aligned? These are all questions the alignment shop should have answered for themselves before resorting to installing a part in a known wrong orientation.
