Daily Dart progress – Alignment

1973 Dodge Dart - wheel alignment

One of the first things on the list after the Dart was streetlegal was getting it aligned.
I had set out to try doing the alignment myself with a homemade tool and an app for my iPhone, but without being able to set camber and caster at the same time, it’s pretty much impossible to do correctly.
After my own ‘garage-alignment’ where I mainly set the camber slightly negative and as much caster I could get out of the adjusters, I made a trip across our tiny country. Eventhough the car still pulled slightly to one side it still was predictable to drive.
Later on I did make an appointment at a local tire-shop which proceeded to align the front suspension to modern day specs. Again this was a night and day difference.
