Hi Mark,

The shop indicated to me that the slight drift to the left was due to the
camber on the left side was 2 degrees positive and right side was .5 degree
positive.

He definitely said camber. He thinks that the ball joint on the left side
needs extra washers to bring the alignment within spec. I think the problem
like you, lies in the that vertical link may have a slight bend. I have an
extra vertical link that needs only a new stub axle. I thought if compared the
two, I might be able see if there was a bend.

Regards,
Ibsen

  Are you sure they did not say too much castor? My TR4 street car
  castor was wrong on both sides of the car. One side was due to a bent
  vertical link, and the other side was due to a bent frame.
