what gets changed?

depends, the guy doing the alignment will have to fudge it as he see's fit.

on my car the caster gets tweeked.

on the mustang II's the motor sat right on top of the crossmember, putting the weight farther front, on our design cars, the motor is rearward of the member.

with all that being said, do you still have the ford stamped steel control arms on yours? by now they are how old? and were they new or used when the car was built?

if you find out its pulling because it needs upper arm bushings or maybe a ball joint, it might be time for a suspension upgrade. get it checked, if this is the case email me i'll give you a place and part numbers for what you'll need. i did it to my car a few years ago, and just did it on a 1980 kellison 2 weeks ago, makes a big difference in handling...

Hi Fred:
I have not touched the front suspension yet, I only noticed the slight pulling to the side, otherwise the handling has been normal. I will have the cr ligned on Monday I will know more if ball joints or bushings are needed. I will keep you posted.
Stay well bud
