If you have the same size tire front and rear it is easy to check. you look from the front along the front and rear sidewalls of the front tires and align them by sight to the outer sidewall of the rear tire you should be close. I usually set it a 1/16th in on each side. it helps to have...

It will work, as far as WIW easily between 500 to 1000 if you tried to get everything separately not counting shipping. But if someone just had it sitting around and wanted to get rid of it you could probably get it for under 500. start at 300 and work your way up and bring cash that usually...

Going by Frans post I don't see 1 inch making to much difference but I could be wrong.

Thanks, I did read your thread as well as some others, and not everybody had issues but it would be just my luck for it to become a nightmare.

I was thinking of going to disks but from all the nightmares if read I think I'll just upgrade the shoes With muscle car brakes. There are good reviews. The 336 number was on my last set just like pbggs pic shows the parts guys should be able to match them up no matter how dense they are.

Are those the shoes that Muscle car brakes sell. I've been interested in an upgrade myself, already have power brakes though.

That sure is sad, the piston looks like it's coming out too. On power brake Master cylinders a tear drop shaped washer holds the piston in. The closest thing I can use to describe the washer is the marker used by google maps to pinpoint locations on the map. That shows a lack of pride in the...

That piece on the master is for manual brakes. I just changed my Master cylinder and it had a tear drop washer on one bolt to hold the pistons in. Good luck I'm also interested in disks for the front but already have power drakes. Following!

If they are aluminum you should recheck at least twice at 25 mile intervals after a wheel is removed. 16 years at sears and that was there standard then.

That looks way high compared to mine but mine is a 67 Coronet. Not sure if they changed that much but the master is definitely different.

You can adjust camber close enough with your square then set toe with a tape measure. Caster will need special equipment to read and check after adjustments.

He's right about getting the height adjustment that you want first then find a shop that will align it as it sits. Before I worked at a shop with an alignment rack I replaced the lower control arm bushings and idler arm then took it to be aligned they basically took a short cut to adjust the...

A power steering gearbox will feel sloppy without a pump hooked up if I remember on mine before. And the alignment wasn't done correctly if the wheel is that far off as stated before. After you put the pump back on and it still feels too loose, there is a screw with a lock nut on the top of...

There is an adjustment on top of both type of gear boxes, Manual and power. Loosen the lock nut and turn the adjusting screw a 1/4 turn at a time untile you get the feel you want. Don't go too much because the steering will bind on turns. You will feel it if you go too far, just back it off...

Post a picture of what part you are talking about. If you are talking about the shaft the lower control arm bushings press on to then no there shouldn't be any looseness.

I've never tried it that way. But you should have less than 10 minutes of rotation. Meaning think of the shaft as a clock, turn the shaft one way, Mark the bottom of the shaft and turn the opposite direction, check the mark. Usually excessive play here is a companies by a winning noise...

Did you check the bearings for smoothness when the shafts were out? If so then it sounds like your on the right track. Also you can check the pinion for excessive slack, with the trans in neutral move the drive shaft back and forth. I usually adjust the rear brakes after assembly by pushing...

To bad about the extra expense, also too bad most alignment techs nowdays only know how to set the toe and let it go. Fast money but no skill required. I was a tech at sears for 17 years before I switched to the diesel field. You can't align a vehicle with worn bushings or other bad front...
