whats a thrust alignment??

 

It is where they check the front and rear suspension and align all 4 corners of the car together. It gives a much more accurate alignment and it can also detect defects in the rear suspension which can effect tracking and front alignment (such as bent lower arms or panhard arm). Anytime you modify the rear suspension or get in a hit like you did it is highly recommended you get the 4 way thrust alignment.

wow, i`ve never heard of that type of alignment, maybe when i get some monee i`ll look to get one done, car doesnt pull on the high way but some local streets a little fraction to the left

 

Nickplee - when you get the new rims on get some one to follow you and make sure your wheel isn't wobbling, i clipped a curb once and it bend my axle shaft ever so slightly, car was fine and could feel it but my wheel moved by like an inch so had to replace the shaft


^ auto, that could be due to the caster setting on the front, if one is a little bit out the car will track badly. Mine used to do this so i got the caster set equal

 

The crown of the road will also cause the car to pull at times. This is normal and there is nothing you can do about it.

I agree with Maudy about some one following you. Not only to check for wobble but to see if your car dog tracks down the road. If it dog tracks then you know your panhard bar is bent.

Dog tracks? is that where the rearend isn't exactly behind the front end?

 

yup! just like a dog that is kept on a chain it learns to walk slightly offset so it does not trip.

YES then be certain to make sure that your rear is following your front...tends to make car more happy when it tracks proper like and what not.

 

so when im doing donuts does that mean im chasing my tail?

 

yup!!
