Title: What happens when you do it wrong
Post by: GTRS Fiero on August 15, 2020, 05:22:14 pm
Suspension/alignment, that is.

This video is not for the faint of heart.

Obviously an issue with the toe.  Of course, Fueroguru would pinpoint this in a moment, but he was on vacation.

Not mine.

Camber will do that on a towed car behind a motor home.

Looks like the alignment is not even close on any of the specs

Tie rods on upside down in the rear.

Exactly.
When I saw his pics, that's what I was going to guess.

The owner's confirmation...
It came down to something simple, I am a complete and utter idiot.
The tie rods were on upside down in the back..in my defense, they fit right in..
This is the third time I have rebuilt the back suspension of a pre 88 Fiero, but I had never left so much time inbetween replacing parts...

He's very lucky he didn't crash.

That's about how my 86SE drove on the way home when I got the first motor into it.  30-35 mph max.

I would have just stated the facts, and let people draw their own conclusion.

Yes, that was scary.  It sounded as if he was really on it.
