About **** time, this car hasn't been aligned since it was assembled in late '05
2006 Taurus, 67k on it
My sister's car that she uses for around town commuting
It had a mismatched set of circa '13 Primacy MXV4 and slightly newer Premier A/S, and standard Taurus collapsed suspension
It got Motorcraft quick struts in the front, KYB in the rear, gave it about a month or so to settle and readjust
It went in today, went for Continental TrueContact Tours, because I had good luck with OG TrueContacts on a 300 we had
I specified an H rating, for the A temp rating and mandatory end cap ply, 215/60/16
Considering this car has had exactly 0 suspension or alignment work in 16 years (my dad is "frugal" as he calls it), I think it's doing alright
Several people including myself went through the front end with a pry bar, and found nothing wrong
All it's had was 4 quick struts and front sway bar links, and alignment
Which I'm not exactly happy with, because the only factory adjustment you get is front toe
These were the results
They told me not to sweat it, and that it shouldn't affect tire wear much, but me being me I don't like it
I don't think it's an emergency, but I'm 3 months or so when it warms up I will probably want to address it
Anyone have experience putting camber plates on the front of Taurus/Sable?
Looks like drill out some spot welds and install the plate, you don't even need to pull the strut down?
What about rear camber/toe adjustment cams in place of the bushings?
