Reply to "4 Wheel Alignment"

I have had my car for 25years and I drive my car.
The stock alignment on the front is ok if you are a purest with all stock front end brakes, bushings, shocks, rack etc. The problem is stock front suspensions have no or very little caster. Caster is what allows the car to go straight, the more caster the better the Pantera likes it, with little or stock caster the car is darty, it wants to react to quickly to steering wheel impute,, it's the difference two hands and white knuckles at 80 and one hand tuning the stereo at 80. The shims you have are for the upper ball joint you want to move the upper ball joint as far to the rear and the lower as far as possible to the front this will give you positive caster. to achieve more positive caster? change to staggered bushings, this is easy and effective it moves the entire upper arm back and the lower arm forward, now you have caster and a far more stable and drivable car. As far as who to take your car to, in the attached picture you will see upper right hand corner that the Pantera is included in modern alignment computers.
