    Carfixer Specs and Tracking

    I have searched the forums and looking for answers for specific question.

    Have Carfixer alignment but it tracks to the left a little bit. This is particularly true when the roads slightly crowned to the left. I am going to get an alignment done again to the Carfixer specs again.

    But, do these specs make the car a little more susceptible to road crown? I can't find my printout from the previous alignment. But a general question in relation to these specs.

    Thanks

    As I recall, there was some + or - in those listed Specs. Mine two do not wander left, thus your realignment may not either. I assume you have the SBC camber bolts etc, thus this issue should be adjusted out.

    Marauder Alignment

    So, got the alignment done to the specs as best they could (do not have SBR camber bolts but flags removed). It still has a slight pull to the left when in the left lane but much less noticeable if at all in the middle lane where there is no crown. I know I am being picky on this but wanted to get some feedback.

    Also, when going straight the wheel is about 10 degrees to the right from horizontal. I know how to deal with that on gear box steering but is there way to adjust the steering wheel angle on a rack and pinion?

    Attached are the alignment results. Thoughts and Prayers?

    Been my 'sperience if the wheel was straight before the alignment and is not straight after something is not done correctly. In my case the tech didn't tighten the bolts back up.

    Cars are usually designed to pull slowly to the right. My old man said it was done that way in case you fall asleep you'll run of the road instead of into oncoming traffic. Makes sense to me. If you pulling to the left you still have an alignment issue.
