Recommended Alignment Shop?

Postby Dukietown » Thu Jun 23, 2011 9:12 am

Did a search but didn't see this, apologies if it's already been discussed.
Driving the new Bronco back from the springs the other night I noticed it had a tendancy to drift around. At first I thought it might be excessive play in the steering but I stuck my head out the window and the steering is pretty responsive. Did some digging around on CB and looking at the FAQ's on WH and there were recommendations to get an alignment done as the caster angle may be off.

Wanted to see if this sounded right to you guys and if so if anyone has a good alignment shop they can recommend. Makes me a little nervous trying to pass a semi when I start drifting right at it banghead

I would start with a alignment check and then determine what degree angle shims for spindles you need for camber and what bushings you will need for caster. Also you may need it checked twice. Do the caster bushings first, due to when you change caster it will effect camber.

Any shop can do a check decent enough. I hope

If you get down to Pueblo, give Rick at Prigmore's a call and tell him Jayson sent you. He is a good guy and does great work for a reasonable price. JP

Cool I'll take it to the Goodyear near my work then and see what it's looking like.
