I'm Sandy Gans, the garage professor. Today we're here at the Sears Auto Center with our project car to get the front end aligned. We have Sal and Alex with over 50 years of alignment experience for the shop today. Sal, tell us a little bit about what's going on today. We're going to be performing our alignment with t Alex, you were brought in as a specialist. You have some familiarity with the Mustang and the older cars. I'm very familiar with the 465 Mustang and it's unique suspension and I've done a lot of them for the year. Alright, well I'll let The first step is to mount the laser targets on all four wheels so the computer can get a front end alignment reading. Then with the car neutral, roll the front wheels onto the turntable so the computer can calibrate to the current front end alignment. It took a reading to the left side right now.

Now that the toe is zeroed out, use the Craftsman 916's combination wrench to lock the adjusting sleeve in place. Zero. Dead center. Dead center on your toe. In the next episode, we'll install the Mustang Interior. So Sal, how'd we do? Actually, All we had to do was just adjust the front toe. So I made the job easy for you today. You sure did. Thank you so much. All right. Well, it sounds Now answer the trivia question for another chance to win the car. We're building it so you can win it.
