The steering and suspension system in your car may look simple enough, but in actuality it's a complex system and as muscle car owners that are getting ready for an autocross/open track day, knowing the alignment basics go a long way. (http://www.superchevy.com[B)The steering and suspension system in your car may look simple enough, but in actuality it's a complex series of arms, links, springs, and pivots. All of it is there to do a few basic things, like soak up bumps in the road, track straight and allow you to turn corners. The car is stuck to the road by four relatively small contact patches, so the alignment settings also manage that contact patch and keep it as large as possible while the suspension cycles. Even though the stuff is there to do these basic things, there are settings you can adjust even on a brand new vehicle to make it handle better and make the tires last longer.inline_mediumwraptextright32418192/technical/chassis/suspension_steering/sucp_1004_muscle_car_front_end_alignment_basicssuc p_1004_01+muscle_car_alignment_basics+alignment.jp gTrue
