I have zero idea on the front. I didn't have the camber bolts installed at that point. The second shop kinda confirmed laziness, and said that the rear camber adjustment bolts weren't even tight. I suppose they could have backed off, but doubtful as the car only had about 100 miles on it with...

Give it a good Italian tune up to clear out the intake valves and clean off the rotors. JR

Ok, Charleston Supercar just took a whack at it. This is what they were able to come up with. The owner didn't love that he didn't have a way to adjust front caster to better compensate for road crown. The car drove much better than before. We happy? JR

Sounds like a vacuum leak. There's a vacuum port on the front of the intake manifold that goes to a check valve (not exactly sure what the part is called), and then the lines run to the master cylinder. That check valve could have failed. It looks like a 90 degree elbow with two ears coming off...

Done. Ordering now. Thanks for your help, Sergio! I appreciate you! JR

Would it make sense to have a place like Charleston Supercar give it a shot before installing the bolts and camber kit, or should I just throw parts at it, and THEN have them align? I'm willing to do either, just want this handled so I can drive the dang car. I didn't even give them the option...

Yeah, it's just annoying. Charleston doesn't have a shop that specializes in Mustangs, so being a platform that has more in common with modern BMWs than with previous gen Mustangs, I figured a Euro shop would be safe. They swore they'd have no issues with it. I'm willing to spend the money to...

Well, I went back to the shop this morning after talking to them last week, sending them the videos and the Steeda install instructions for the rear camber adjustment. When I got there, they said they had just looked at the videos (after a week) and they did what they could. They were happy to...

Worth it to try to get them to correct it, or should I just be looking for a better shop and chalking this up as a loss? JR

Good to know, and thanks for not selling me a part I don't need. I'll give them a call and ask them to take another look at it. Maybe if I show them the video of the installation of the rear camber adjustment kit, they'll get a better understanding of the setup of the rear of the car. I'm a bit...

Damn. Well, I'm Thanks Sergio. I actually spoke with Rodney via email on Friday, and he recommended the Mach 1 HP settings, which I tried to get them to match. Do you think I'd be able to get closer if I went to the rear camber adjustment kit? Or is this just a skill issue? JR

Just got the car aligned after installing the Steeda adjustable rear toe links and going to 285/35/19 Conti ExtremeContact ECS02s on 10" wheels with a 25mm spacer. Other suspension/chassis mods are Steeda vertical links, diff bushings, alignment dowels, subframe bushing support kit, and subframe...

Just installed Conti ECS02s in 285/35/19 on 10" square wheels (Ford Performance PP2 style wheels) on 25mm spacers front and rear. Like, literally just lowered the car after installing the tires. I need to program the new TPMS sensors, but things look really good. I'll try to get a photo of...

Are you sure the pillar wasn't cut away after the accident by first responders? That may sound like a dumb question, but doesn't hurt to ask. JR
