Looks good to me. Are your shoes wearing evenly?

How's the camber? Your set up dosen't look like it can handle much castor.
And the amount of toe you have should help you down a slippery drive way in the winter.

The measurement is best taken with the feet up and extended while in one's recliner.

Benson,
I don't know if the toe-in is correct, but it's easily altered with simple tools, nail clippers.

I think you need some serious front end work. And maybe some head work as well!!!!

It appears to me that you have some serious issues with the left side. At one time someone may of damaged the main supports in an accident.

Time for a king pin overhaul, new shoes, new pants, new flooring, new liquids.

Hell, while you are at it you might as well apply some new paint and shine up the bright stuff.

But first of all you need to take this tool and spread it open as far as it will go between your legs.

I'd be more worried about the rear end drip... My brother and I both have Model As. One time around an extended family meal we were talking about them, when all of a sudden all conversation stopped and everyone started giving us strange looks. It's then that we realized we were discussing "does your rear end drip?". :0

I'm think my car needs an alignment
It keeps drifting towards the liquor store..

I told my chiropractor that my spine was already in alignment, but he proved me wrong.
Now I stand corrected.
