hi all,
on a 69 camaro how far off of being centered can the front sub frame be before you would notice dogtracking?
a better way to say this might be the sub frame is installed with a ever so slight twist to the left.

It doesn't take much mis-alignment to notice the car is dog legging.

Anytime the front wheels are misaligned/not straight with the rear wheels will cause many issues. From handling issues, to premature wear of parts etc.

Is the subframe actually twisted, or is the subframe straight, but bolted in off center?.

Any good front end alignment shop can adjust the sub-frame on the alignment rack. A quick way to check this at home is to use a tape measure.
