    Jag rear alignment "how to?"

    Can someone point me to a "how to" on how to do a jag rear alignment? I thought I'd found something in a search, but the link was broken....

    Thanks!

    Question Alignment

    If you don't have some experience with alignment and don't understand Caster, Camber, Tow In/Tow out, Ride Height it is best left to the Pro's. Also you have to have some basic alignment tools and some parts (jag shims for the rear), (alignment shims for the front) and the knowledge to use them. Also on the rear of the car each wheel must be parallel to the frame before the tow in is set. If you have those bases covered the alignment specification some of us use have been posted on this web site.

    you can easily shim the rear end to get it "close" it is a little tedious but no special skills are involved in the actual shimming ,you will need the alignment pros to verify exact specs, but you can probably get by with a good eyeballing. Alan sent me some shims when i was getting my car running. the alignment shop did not have any shims so if you chose to have them do it make sure they have the parts.

    alignment

    you spend all that money on somebody's kit car and then you want to do an eyeball alignment! that's plain dangerous! just take your car to an alignment shop and then enjoy your work of love.
    how do you find a good alignment shop?
    1. how long have they been doing alignments?
    2. how many alignment machines do they have? if they only have one machine then be very careful, but at the same time they could be very good. just ask questions.
    3. if they have 3 or more alignment machines then you found the right place. just get out of their way and let them do what they do best.
