OK so heres the deal.My 67 wagon is back on the road after mucho work.The front and rear suspensions and all body bushings are Energy Suspension peices. It has the original drums and spindals.I got a front sway bar from a 78 Trans Am.The car sits high with the nostalgia look I wanted.The problem is that the alingmet specs for Half a degree positive camber and half a degree positive caster.The camber is good with No shims but the caster is 12.2 Left 11.9 right. Trying to add shims to the front brings the caster down but also brings the camber in way negitive. I have heard that the front spring pearches may need to be pulled out to compensate for the frame sagging inwards. Any truth to this and hows it done?? I used the new Hunter Laser alignment machine at work and rechecked the settings quite a few times.Anybody have this problem before?? Thanks in advance...
