90q Back Together Again!

[SuffolkD at aol.com]

My two cents:
4000Q the subframe with A frame bushings I left the lower ball joint two nuts 
that clinch the middle of the subframe loose when I went for an alignment ~42 
ft lbs.....
This was so the shop could tighten it up after aligned.

They couldn't do the alignment, 9other issues) so I brought it home.  Parked 
it for two years and took it for a spin later on..........
FORGOT about the two bolts loose.  Driving down the street the wheel turned 
in my hand while driving straight ahead, so maybe your caster/camber is out of 
alignment?

ALSO LAST WEEK:

I drove a Mazda 323 rally car.  It had crisp turn in to the right, but had 
miles of turn in with little or no effect when going left.  It gave the feeling 
of turning further onto the tire sidewall for conrnering.  Quite a challenge.  
Suspected an alignment issue (camber like or linkage to the ball joint) and 
the owner had the car trailered home for repairs..........
