Ok maybe a poll here,

How many times have you found you rear end being out of alignment?

Seems that they can can really get out of wack with TOE-IN, almost plowing.


anyone had this problem, any idea as to what the cause is for this to happen.

Just wondering, car has 21,000 miles and only made 4 passes at the track, and that was like 15,000 miles ago.

Just recently had it aligned at the dealer and the tech said it was out pretty bad.

The yellowsnake is primarily a Garage Queen.

Even with the solid axle? Or was this before the swap? I just made an appt. to get my front aligned after I lowered it. Looks like it's set up for the track with all that + camber.

What clued me on to the problem was that I rotated the tires, (New HanKook's) with about 6000 miles on them and Dang, most of the inner part of the tires was wearing away badly.Iwas pretty pissed as these are by far the best tires I have run on any of my Mustangs.

At any rate, Guys, check you rear alighnment, unless you don't mind chewing on your tires.

Oh great, I got a quote to have springs, camber plates, and alignment done. Now I have to do a rear alignment too. Holy sh$t this is getting expensive.

you don't need two seperate alignments....just a 4 wheel alignment....

mine has 12,000 on my tires and it has worn significantly more on the insides of the rear tires.Plan on new tires and alignment in a couple of months when things warm up.
