[Shotimes] Question On Suspension

[Steve Weinrich]

Shimming the rack mount with washer's won't fix an alignment issue such as
that.

You will need a caster or camber alignment kit to correct that, assuming you
do not have bent suspension components such as a lower control arm or a bent
sub-frame.  Since I don't know which way it is leaning, I can't be certain
as to which you need.

If the knock sounds like it is directly below the upper shoulder harness
retractor, the problem is the mount.  If the source of the noise is from the
back end but is indistinct as to the exact source, I would bet on the sway
bar end links.

> I have Koni's and Eibachs on my 89 SHO right now and i must say i am not
very impressed with them (after driving them for 8000
miles)........Something isnt correct. My driver's side front wheel is
leaning a bit and i cannot correct it. I do beleive good OLD G.F. had a
similar problem and suggested adding washers to the Power Steering rack. Is
this so? Can you elaborate at all? I just want to understand this.
