    I just got my lady back on the road after my "custom mix and match" front disc upgrade (if I'd found you guys before I started buying parts you could have saved me several headaches by getting a kit). Put new wheels and tires on her and she looks to be coming to life finally. Problem is that from the front the wheels are not straight up and down. They are \ / looking. Once again I have no idea. The new parts are springs, shocks, and the spindles are used from an 85 chevy. The spindle ball joints are slightly farther apart than the originals-could that be the problem? Or are the new springs just too stiff? I did put heavy duty ones on. Do I just need to tear off the front end and start over? I will try to get some pics of the tires on so you can see. I always appreciate your advice. Matt

    Sounds like you need to get a front end alignment. It can be adjusted with a few shims. There is a possibility that the springs are too tall and that could be throwing it all out of wack.
