Then I put it on the scales. This is the baseline.




I made a minor adjustment to the left front




This is with about 1/2 tank of fuel, and no weight in the driver's seat. Sometimes I'm in the car alone, and sometimes not.

Unfortunately, there is no adjustment for the rear, or I would have taken a little weight out of the right rear. If I was racing this car, I would make that adjustable.

I also checked the front end alignment. Caster and camber are fine. But it had 1/8" toe out. I changed that to 1/16" toe in.

Did it help? YES! A noticeable improvement in feel and ride. I like it.
Are you sure about no adjustment for the rear? My car does they are hard to get at had to remove the rear wheels to get at them.Should be at the top of the rear springs that is where mine are.
