Taken from the Pantera Service Manual & latest TSB:
Make sure of the following:
1.)Proper tire inflation
2.)Wheels for true running
3.)Front wheel bearings adjusted
4.)Check ball joints for excessive play.
5.)Load car as follows: 88lbs. on each seat,66 lbs. in each foot well, and 1/2 tank of gas
Front camber 1/8 Neg degree to 1/8 Pos. degree by moving upper ball joint in or out.
Rear camber 3/8 Neg degree to 5/8 Neg. degree.
Adjust using shims by adding or removing shims from behind the lower suspension arm attaching brackets with equal number of shims on each side. Shims were originally .025, .050, and .100.
Couple of questions? Is it possible that weight of the car or added weight could have enough variance to change camber to spec? Does the slot possibly have paint or a wear pattern keeping the upper A-arm from moving in or out?
Just some thoughts.
