Alignment shop

[Buzzsaw]

Can anyone suggest a good alignment shop in the Charlotte NC area? One familiar with our Factory Five Roadsters.

I can't recommend one in your area, but any alignment shop should have no problem aligning it. You don't necessarily have to limit your short list to shops who have done them before. There are two FFRs in my little town, and we took ours to a local alignment shop who had never touched them, and they knew just what to do.

Yeah I took it to a well respected alignment shop. Car is unstable at 65 mph and above. Checked all suspension torques and they are still in spec steering rack is centered.

I would ask the shop for the readout and report back here. Lots of helpful folks to advise you on what needs massaged.

Not enough positive caster, not the proper toe in, too much tire pressure. Tell what you have…

That works as well I guess. Again lots of helpers here if you need it.

Check the stuff Jeff K listed before changing the alignment, IMO.

It's not that difficult, you got this.

Put your air pressure of 23 PSI. If you haven't checked it the tire shop that mounted your tires would have put it at 32-35 PSI.

Just curious why 23 psi?

General rule, 10 PSI/1000 lbs car weight.

Well….I set mine to 24 because that is what I was reading, and all along I was thinking……that was really low. Thank you for the explanation I appreciate it. That makes sense.
