Got the SHO running good, only one prob with the Alignment (pics)

Me and rcsavage got the 60K maint pretty much done, well at least the important parts. Drove it a while. I fixed the squelling tie rod end. Took it to get an alignment. Look what I found.




Not pretty, I need the special Taurus/Sable adjustable alignment parts to fix it. The cambers in the rear are way off. So far when I researched it online, partsamerica sells a bunch of the parts. What would be the best to get for a camber thats 2 degrees off? I'm thinking the parts made from Northstar. Here are more pics of the alignment.







My friend is hooking me up with drilling the spot weld alignments. They are still way off, so I'll need the special front camber alignment parts also.

Just get a set of the Ingalls adjustable control arms from SHObros, here:

They're probably cheaper in the long run than trying to fix that some other way, and they give a LOT more adjustability (and easier adjustability than the stock pieces) to the rear wheels. You can set camber and toe with these nicely.

First, though, I'd look around to see why they're off so much. Usually that means that either a spring is broken or sagging or one of the control arms is bent. Should be reasonably easy to spot what's wrong when it's on a rack, I'd think. If it's been in an accident it could be more fundamental than that, but in any case the adjustable control arms can get things back where they need to be and are a nice upgrade.

Wow, that looks like it may do the trick, I was more looking at escentric bushings, what do you think of those?

2 degrees maybe asking a bit much from the eccentric bushings. Like Shoaz said, check for bent/broken parts first then get the control arms. You and your alignment tech will be much happier with them!

I have the control arms and I love them, they are very beefy and they wont flex like the GTp control arms. The eccentric bushings might not give you the adjustment you need.

Does anyone have a pic of the rear axle with those control arms on, I would love to see them, I am seriously considering getting them
