Wheel Alignment

[s1ms]

If you'd go as far as Thatcham, I highly recommend Fergies. They are a German car specialist but it's where I go for my alignment. Customer service is top notch and these guys know their stuff - they were helping me troubleshoot my suspension issues last year, very enthusiastic and capable staff.

Booked in with them for this Friday. Hopefully we'll get it sorted

Awesome mate. One thing i’ve just remembered…i have a set of front camber bolts (about £25 from nemesis), when they last did my alignment, they mentioned that the stock setup only allowed so much adjustment so wasn’t as good as it could have been. Camber bolts should dial it in. I am on the eibach pro springs.
I’ll be back there soon for new rear mps4s + alignment

Fergies FTW! The car drives so much better now! No more wobble and the rear is so stable now. Interesting thing with the front though. They weren't able to fully adjust one of the settings and said that as per Ford instructions they have to drill holes in the suspension to get access to the bolts. How weird is that!

Is it stock ?

Some garages have to look up the car under US, Ford, Mustang on their system as the Mustang doesn't show up under Ford.

So took it to Halfords and the same thing can get the specifications for the car so I gave them this print out so thanks again Cara much much better now

yep, that’s what they told me. The camber bolts are a workaround to that as i understand it.

glad you’re all sorted

I kept driving mine home, making adjustments and taking it back to re-test until the camber was right

I'm interested in this bit.

Did they have to drill holes to get access to bolts, or did they enlarge existing holes to allow for more adjustment ?

I was told it was due to access, although they never mentioned anything about drilling holes. Although I did drill out the camber bolt holes due to the BMR camber bar being a different size.

I'm still waiting for the quote and more details

Should you use the same settings for the 20 inch wheels? My car feels like it's on god damn wonky rails. So much weird side-to-side movement. Might go back to stock 19s if realignment doesn't sort it.

When I had my Mustang I used this guy's advice:
'Gibbo's Handling Guide to the S550' which is still to be found on this forum.
Camber Front bolts are essential as mine went all over the place after I put bigger wheels on.
Had it re-set at Demon Tweeks near where I live.

here's my results before and after. The car now pulls to the right FFS

I think I would start a new thread in the suspension forum - much wider audience and more experience in there

Hope you get it sorted

This is how I did mine

This got to be a joke. I don't think I've seen worse job for a while. Toe in front / rear is all over the place. Hopefully you didn't pay for it.
