Well guys I took her in for the tires and it was 7:50 am and it took them till after 11 am to finish it. Well as I drove home I heard noise coming from my rear from the 60's and she devceloped a severe pull to the right she made right hand turns without my help. When I got home I found the wheel weights were not on right and were popped out on the ends and were hitting the shock mount on the spring saddle and so I fixed it. ""I have 60 series tires in back on 8 inch wide centerlines. I quickly threw my alignment turntables under her front wheels and then put on my magnetic caster camber gauge on and took some readings and found my right front was two degrees neg caster and left front was 1 positive. I reset it and now she handles fine. I intend to go over the alignment again on Friday to make sure all is set better, I had no real time today to do that. It was a quick look and set to try to elimnate the pull and I did just that.
