'66 - 6 Cyl Manual brakes and steering.
Car pulls to the right while driving (not related to braking). It's been doing this a very long time. Using a Longacre digital caster/camber gauge and Manco toe in/out gauge, I have the front wheel alignment set to perfection !! Yet, it still pulls to the right.
I used the Manco toe gauge to measure the distance between the front and rear wheels on each side of the car. The distance between the front and rear wheel on the passenger (right) side of the car is 4/32" OR 1/8" longer than the distance between the front & rear wheel on the driver (left) side.
So, basically, the rear axle/wheels is turned slightly to the right. Is this enough to cause the car to pull to the right or is there some acceptable tolerance on this? I replaced the leaf springs 10 years ago and maybe didn't remount the axle perfectly even at that time. I guess I could loosen up the leaf spring to axle clamps and try to re align so the axle faces perfectly straight.
So, my question - is this 1/8" misalignment likely causing the right pull? Thnx
