Hey guys I did the Shelby drop on our Mav. I used standard replacement cross shafts and PST bushings. Now I have been trying to get the front end alignment close and I am having trouble with it. The least amount of camber I can get out of each side is 1 degree positive. I am aiming for around 1/2 degree negative and can't even get close. I tried to put a priliminary alignment on it before I put the front springs in. The camber was 1 deg. pos. then and is still the same with the spings in and some of the car assembled. It doesn't appear that it is going to fix itself. Is there some trick I am missing to get more negative camber out of it? Thanks Greg
you can place an alignment shim behind the upper control arm, Between the arm and the shock tower. 1/8 shim will move it about 1/2 deg..if memory serves.
Runum- This may be a silly question, but do you have the whole car together yet? You won't know where the alignment is until the car has been fully assembled with all the weight on the suspension and if the springs have any settling to do, that needs to happen as well. Ride height has a large effect on camber, generally gaining negative camber as ride height goes down. Hope this helps.
