Question
Would you happen to know where I can get the manufacture's specs on a full alignment for a 69 mach 1 mustang?  I have had the alignment done several times and it always pulls to the right.  I just put new tires on it and would like them not ruined quickly. thank you for any information you could give me.  I appreciate it.

Answer
I have the manufacturers specifications but first let me ask a couple of questions.
1. Are the wheels stock and are you running the stock tire size?
2. Is the car stock or altered?
3. Has the ride height been altered front or back or both?
4. When the car is running down the road straight ahead is the steering wheel straight or off to one side?
Be waiting your answers.
