1995 Ford Taurus
I have a 1995 Ford Taurus with 49k on the clock. However, its original owner let it sit for over a year because the front coil springs are shot. My question is do you have to re-align the front end on this particular car? I cannot find a caster/camber adjustment. I could adjust the toe, using the tie-rod end but that is about it. Do you have any suggestions?
