I had to do a little alignment on the DD after I finally finished my front end overhaul. It’s close enough now. I won’t know further until the new ball joints loosen up so I can really see how it tracks. Negative camber is a little excessive but no way to fix that unless I buy new springs or get offset caster plates.

That is an authentic Ranger XL sport featuring optional tachometer, cloth seats, alloy wheels, power steering, and the uber rare Reebok stripe. Mind you those are the only options it has :lol:

Economy before style.

:tup: That looks very similar to what I did when I aligned my car. Only difference is I went a bit more high tech after getting fustrated with the string and used laser pointers (like what you buy from Home Depot to set pictures straight) mounted on cinder blocks.

Real time consuming if you don’t do it that often, but very rewarding.
