Hey guys, looking for some advice. H20 gave me some good info and trying to see what others have done. Attached is a picture of my alignment readout. Was thinking new springs as the rears are way off but H20 steered me in the right direction.

I have about 170K on the car and have replaced:
the front shocks with bilstiens
all front control arm bushings
all front ball joints

Haven't touched the rear at all.

I have not changed out the shock mounts yet but that seems like the next thing to do, front and rear I expect.

Will changing the rear mounts bring it back in or will I need a shim kit?

H20 also mentioned eccentric bolts. Who sells those?

I've always tried to keep mine in the best shape I possiblly could because I use it as daily driver. People that see it can't believe it's as old as it is or that I have that many miles because the car is still so solid. I'll try to update my sig to include some picts.

Thanks for any advice or help.

 

Almost forgot, The drivers side front is sitting about a 1/4" lower than the passenger front but the rear seems fine.

 

with those front camber and caster settings I bet you have to turn on the right turn signal to signal a lane change when you let go of the steering wheel. Did you replace the front upper strut mounts? cause those are big issues with collapsed bushings..... I wouldnt worry about those rear camber settings unless you get around 2degrees neg. You still have front end issue though. For the rear at 170k I would replace the shocks, and upper mount bushings and add the thickest packing in the spring seat to offset 170k worth of use. Or you can replace springs, but the formentioned is cheaper.....by far...if memery serves me the eccentric bolts allow only about .2+/- adjustment

 

Thanks Brutal,

I haven't changed the mounts yet but will order tomorrow.

Also, about the rear, can i get the thicker packings from jaguar or can you let me know where I can order them?

By the way, very nice garage.

 

The packings are just plastic shims, order the thickest ones, and add to what you have. Get from Jaguar, I dont know anywhere else, although you might try Ken at motorcars. I grew up in St Louis and cruised the local Steak n Shake in the 70's
