I had an allignment done today... it's not perfect because apparently i have a loose wheel bearing... i went to o'rielly do i need an inner or outer or both?....

 

I had the same problem 2 weeks ago on my 83.I plan on new bearings for both sides.They're cheap enough.

 

you need both, get the seal too

 

Thanks... got it all replaced... now just to find out why the car pulls to the right... is there a way to change the caster?... i'm off a degree from side to side...

How much did you pay to have it all replaced?



According to the book it will allow a little movement at the top nuts.

 

Post up your alignment settings. I can help with this.



Also, is the wheel fighting you when you are trying to go straight, or just sitting crooked when you go straight?

 

here is the allignment info, i replaced the bearing myself they were around $15 and there are 4 of them... i replaced all the suspension stuff as well... my question is can i change the caster with the tension rods?... and i set the camber all the way out on both sides but it's further on one side so i need to pull that one in...



the car pulls to the right meaning to go straight i have to hold the wheel off to the left slightly... if i let go the car will switch lanes all on it's own



Thanks

15 bucks for wheel bearings? Man, I'm steamed. MazdaTrix charges almost 100 dollars for both, with races..

 

Mine came with new races too... they are even made in japan.. problem is i couldn't get the old races out but they were in really good shape and didn't have any measurable wear...

you can set caster with the tension rods, although you're not really supposed to.



you might want to look for like a bent srut or something, the camber is off too.



also the strut top is not centered, you can turn it and it will change the alignment
