[QUOTE="DSGx, post: 891507, member: 15545"] Hi everyone im new here, recently purchased a 94 GT wich appeared to be in good condition , well it is not , the drivetrain is in perfect shape but the front suspension problem is killing me, the car had been in a front end crash and it appears that the frame on the driver side got pushed back half an inch along with kmember and all, if u look at the car from outside u cant tell at all, its amazing cuz the car drives straight and it does not drift to the side like those cargo vans u see on the road. Problem is since the Kmember got pushed back a bit on that side the wheel also is pushed back , so on the good side my wheel is centered but on the crashed side the wheel is back by about half an inch, i was looking at the underside of the car were the control arm bolts to the k member and i saw what appears to be adjustable washers on the bolts, like the ones used in Trucks to adjust caster and toe via the control arm bolt. The washers are soldered in place with two tack welds wich mean they can be reajusted to another position, what im thinking of doing is adjusting the control arm forward a bit just enought to get the wheel to the same distance from the back wheel as the good side of the car, i know this seems crazy but i have no other option or money to buy another car so i have to do it one way or another if the bolt can not be adjusted im just gonna elongate the hole on the kmember to be able to adjust the control arm to where i want it, would like to know what ur guys opinion is on this i dont have loads of cash sitting around to able to afford a better mustang so i got no other option but to keep this one, only paid 2500 so what the hell.
