I am currently having trouble aligning the front end of my 72 Cutlas. I went from drum to disc brake, replaced springs, basically the entire front end. I am now having camper issues on passenger side. I bought an offset shaft and bushings that helped very little.


Does anyone have any advice on how to get this this front end aligned? I heard that there are longer upper control arms, but haven't had any luck finding them.


Any help to a solution is much appreciated.

 

It would help if you explained which settings your having trouble with. Post the settings that your at and the end result you expect.

 

I have the same issues on my 1969 Cutlass. The shop said its real close but not perfect.

 

Yes, posting any sort of fact at all, rather than just vaguely mentioning "camper issues" (I won't even...) would be a small first step.

You said you replaced "basically" the entire front end. What wasn't replaced? To get a good alignment on these old cars you need all new ball joints, bushings, tie rods and idler arm. Even stabilizer bar bushings and links need to be replaced after 30+ years.

 

Was the drum to disc conversion done with factory parts or an aftermarket kit?
