Cobra Geometry Challenges!

[TINNMANN]

First I would check if the suspension is square to the center line of the car. This can be done by lifting the car up and hanging plum bobs from suspension and marking the points on the floor then adjust the wheel centers so they are square. I then fastened a piece of electrical conduit to the quick jacks and marked the center. Then set the ride height using the frame to floor do not use any part of the body. I would suggest that you buy or borrow an alignment gauge such as a Longacher camber caster gauge or a Fast track both are under $200. I have the Longacher and I have used it 5 times to change the alignment settings so it has more than paid for itself. If Your car has a solid rear end it is critical that it is square IRS is not as sensitive.I would suggest a good starting point would be 1 deg camber (top of tire tipped in) and with power steering about 6 to 8 deg caster (the only way to measure this is with a gauge) The more caster the better the steering will center itself after a turn. Then using the conduits fastened to the quick jacks run string down each side about 6 inches outside the body. With the weight on the wheels you can measure the toe. You should start at 1/16 inch in at the front (1/8" total) This should get you into the game. If you have IRS you can set the camber and toe as well. I went to get my car aligned and when the tech didn't seam to understand what I wanted and he told me that it would cost at least $200 that is when I got the Longacher tool.
