I don't have a FSM and I need the procedure and specs for aligning the front end of my 77 Volare wagon. Could anyone scan and e-mail them to me?

_________________

Don't have the procedure, but here's the specs:

Caster +1.5 to +3.75

Camber Left 0 to +1 +.5 preferred
Camber Right -.25 to +.75 +.25 preferred

toe (in) 1/16 to 1/4

Thank you.

Where do you check the ride height and what should it measure?

_________________

Don't know for sure if this applies to your volare, but on the valiant you measure from below the upper end of the lower control arm to the floor. Then subtract from that the measurement from below the lower ball joint to the floor. The difference is the ride height. The alignment procedure is to first correct the ride height, then camber, caster and finally toe-in.

A-bodies and F-bodies ride heights are measured differently.
