Good day, All,
Got new tires; tire store can't align my '66 300 because their super-fandango-laser attachments won't work with the fender overhang; took to classic car alignment shop (Glenn's Alignment & Brake Service in Costa Mesa, CA is almost a mini car show!) and they found the center link not parallel to the ground; suggested wrong idler arm...
Sure enough, I look underneath, and the end closest to the ground of the idler arm is lower by at least an inch, compared to the gear arm's distance to the floor. ['Might explain some other issues...] I haven't been to any store (Most are saying 'special order'.) to do a comparison.
Is this normal? I'm still getting used to the car and want to use as daily driver.
So, I'm looking for any pics of underneath to see the proper alignment of any/all steering parts. I have the PDF of the FSM from MyMopar.com, but it's a breakout diagram...
More importantly, I'm looking for any comments! Even the ornery ones. :icon_razz:
Thanks!
