5. repeat until it's slammed.
6. High five yourself

I think I'm going to cry

[Oakes]

I dunno why I even went to sleep for all of...an hour lol and then drove home.

[DPancoast]

Way to go stinky.

In. At work. Not happy lol. It's so damn nice out.

[phate1229]

ok I admit it, I have no CLUE what I'm doing when it comes to alignments and suspension.

[DPancoast]

For alignment (home made until you get to a shop) take a tape measure, put it in the outside most tread high up on the wheel and measure across to the other side. Do the same on the bottom. Make the tires look as straight up and down as possible and make sure the numbers are the same top and bottom.

Ride height, find a very flat surface and use your fender wells.

Then. Drive to your nearest trust worthy alignment shop and get one lol. It'd even be worth the drive to come out to R/T. Pat would hook you up with a super sick alignment that would prob make you poop your pants

[phate1229]

I'm planning on going to RT eventually, but my strut rods that were supposed to come in friday are apparently out of stock and I need to wait 4-6 weeks before those come

[DPancoast]

Damn .

Also, for ride height, you can also count threads on the coilovers if it's a ksport type shock that screws up and down to adjust height. It's a little more accurate that way.

[russiankid]

His toe in is set pretty close to perfect. The steering wheel is straight and the car tracks straight.

[DPancoast]

Well in that case, you just have to get the ride height as close as you can and you're good for a little while. Don't forget to tighten everything... Oh the stories I have heard lol.

So, for anyone that drove in that hurricane style storm last night, I hope you made it out ok. I ended up sliding out the Fusion avoiding someone who was hydro planing, car became RWD for a moment. I'm guessing what happened is when I tried to not abruptly swerve out of the way, the front tires gripped oddly and the rears just started to ride on water. Did a full 360, hit a puddle sideways, water EVERYWHERE horrible sound thought I was headed off the road. Miraculously though, I regained control and got her straight while still rolling. My steering feels like ass now and there's a slight vibration in the ride at speed and when I turn, I just want to get rid of this car! Some others were not as fortunate as I saw on my drive.

[ASIAN JUL]

The rain was sooo loud last night. Scary.

[DPancoast]

Geeze Nick, glad you're ok man. I hope your car isn't too bad and you can fix it all quick like. I bunkered down at Michelles until it stopped raining. Power went out too for about 30 seconds which according to her never happens since her power is underground. Other than that, made out ok.
