I had my '73 aligned a week before Rt66 and failed to give it a proper road test before hitting the road About 70mph it begins to vibrate a bit and ceases around 80mph. Before having it aligned it drove like a dream but ate the front tires. Living in the sticks I don't have a lot of choices so I'm hoping someone can gleam these "before and after" alignment details and make a recommendation so that I can have it set correctly. TIA, Kent (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) PS, click on the pic to view it upright.

So with toe out there's no vibration. With toe at zero you've picked up a vibration.
What shape are the wheel bearings, ball joints, and tie rod ends? Any looseness in these items can introduce vibration. With toe out, the stress on bearing, ball joints, and tie rod ends is normally in one direction. With toe at zero, it would seem the items might be stressed in both directions thus any play could result in some wobble in the steering wheel. |
