I wanted to match my M/T Sportsman rears. So I bought these in '09 Bias Ply. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MTT-1574/ Lowered T-Bars more since tires are shorter. Ever since the wheel wants to pull to the left. Quite a bit. I have switched wheels & tires from DS to PS. No Difference. Left side caliper is not Dragging. Wheel bearing are fine. Local alignment shops say it won't fit on their lift. 1 shop said it would work but they can't attach the rear alignment jig and rotate it because of tire to limited quarter panel clearence. What could have changed? Toe Caster/Camber Help!

They want to sell you tires too? Or only do what they call a 4 wheel alignment? Or?... Is you car tubbed or something that they can't get the fixture onto your rear rims without hitting the quarter panel? Could you post pics of showing your rear tires? Maybe ask for Connecticut people that know of a good alignment shop friendly with older cars.

This is the problem. They say they can't the fixture on. So is it a fixture like this one? Is it hitting the top of the quarter panel lip? I would think Hunter would make some extension for the rim clamp tips. That would bring out the fixture from the quarter panel.

Maybe you can contact Hunter and find if they know of a shop they have sold this "Wheel Off" fixture to in your area. I would think/hope Hunter would be glad to help because that would justify a customer's purchase of that alignment accessory. I bet it's not cheap!
