[s-cars] subframe alignment

[Fred Munro]

Konstantine;

Also check your front swaybar and swaybar mounting bushings. The swaybar
locates the front wheels in the fore and aft plane. I pulled my right wheel
forward enough to increase the caster by .7 degrees by replacing the bar
mounts and pulling the right mount forward before bolting it up. If the
right mount is shot or the right side of the bar is bent it will move your
right wheel back.

That is unknown to me.  PO did not say anything.   I also thought about
it and looked for body measurement points but could not find anything in
the Bentley CD.  Anybody knows where I can get info on how to check the
body straigtness?  Probably, there is a generic method of  how to do it
on any car.  But how and what are the tolerances?

Thanks.
Konstantin.
