Well produced video. With that said: What you demonstrated with caster, though, doesn't jive with the instructions. Instructions say to turn the wheel "out" 15 degrees, zero the bubble on the CASTER gauge, and then turn the wheel 15 degrees "in". This might be why you were showing -3 degrees caster, which would be awful handling. You were working on the passenger side - you should have started by turning the wheel to the right instead of left.
The video is wrong, negative caster would have the top of the strut in front of the bottom and unless that mustang has been crashed, isn’t possible. FWIW caster for those cars should be closer to 7 deg positive.
J Morris 7!? I doubt it. Most likely 3 is in spec or a little low for sure. Quick google search is showing 4-4.5 positive is closer to ideal for this generation mustang. Not a mustang guy but 7 sounds very high.
@@firstwordcar 6.8-6.9 +/- .75 www.billswebspace.com/2016%20Mustang%20Alignment%20Specs.pdf Like I said, closer to 7+ On the 05-10 mustangs it was over 7.
this only checks caster/camber... how can you check toe-in/out? (sorry for the noob questions)... and how do you set/adjust alignment and coilover corner weights at the track or in your home/residential garage?

I noticed this too. But if you do it backwards it’s just opposite. In the reality the car has positive 3 degrees caster...not negative.

@@jmorris4917 I stand corrected
I LOVE WHEN BILL ,SAYS , BACK ON THE ROAD IN NO TIME
When you were measuring caster you zero-ed the gauge on the camber scale, is that correct? Shouldn't you zero the gauge on the caster scale?
Great, good video, nice job thank you for the info, need more videos like this one like always you guys bring good stuff!!
this only checks caster/camber... how can you check toe-in/out? (sorry for the noob questions)... and how do you set/adjust alignment and coilover corner weights at the track or in your home/residential garage?
i'm looking into buying this and a QuickJack to be able to maintain my car (and make adjustments for track days and spirited drives) on my own.
I need such gauge for a 10 inch wheel.. Is it available?
please pull this video. comments are full of comments on how you did not do the caster correctly.
Wrong! You’re setting Caster zero on the camber scale.
Probably should delete this video and start over.
