[DML] Re: Alignment results..

["Harold McElraft" <hmcelraft@xxxxxxx>]

Looks like your car is too high - it needs to be 5 1/2 inches in the 
front. If you have the service bulletin it explains all that. I don't 
believe the readings you have are accurate. Toe is adjustable and the 
front caster somewhat with the front link bushings and some spacers 
but you need someone that understands all this first to make the 
correct adjustments. If you want a quick lesson, check out the 
following link.
