maybe your confusing a alignment with bumpsteer as for the front goes.?
does the car wonder on wavy or bumpy roads?
if it does you need a bump steer kit.Unless your have one then id go get a alignment like others suggested.

no, front tire wear is telling me i need an alignment...it was discovered while installing my new clutch cable that the insides of my tires were worn down to the metal, and the outsides were still showing some tread... i havent driven the stang really since october but i dont remember that feeling over bumps, its only on the 1inch pro kit so i believe i dont need the bump steer? could be wrong maybe?

hpwrestler220 reccomended camber bolts.
Those are another way to set chamber on the Mustang instead of CP.
The bolt have like a "cam" on them say -2 degrees that set camber to what ever the cam degree is.

I believe they install on the strut where it connects to spindal knuckle.

Also I heard of people drilling out the holes longer where strut connect to tower like chamber plates to get a few more degrees. dont think Id go that route.

Camber bolts are also known as "crash bolts"--here's my observations and opinion about them from another thread...

I bet the alignment was just never done. The factory stuff based on what I'm told will still align ok with the pro kit. I'll find this out as soon as I get time to put mine on. But I vote to just take it to an alignment shop and have them do it.
