Clark is a stand up guy that's being doing this longer than we have been alive Lenny. He has done my last several vettes, both performance and street setups depending on what I was up to. He is a grumpy old dude that knows his ****. Love that place.

Olitho

I have used him too for my race car. He does come across as grumpy.


Do you know if he is doing corner balance work?

I am not sure Oli. With all the various race cars in and out it would surprise me if he didn't.

thanks for the refferals guys

Hey Bo, is this Old guy familiar with aligning C6 corvette? from what i read online the C6 is tricky to align, and the alignment shop has to have a TECH2 to check steering wheel position ( gotta be Zeroed out for Active Handling to work properly )

this is what happening to my front pass tire

275/35-18 Michelin PSS tires

these tires have never seen HPDEs, just street driving

this is only happening to the front passenger tire, tires have 25k miles on them


here is a quick pic, the other front tire is normal

100%

Olitho

It looks like you have a lot of negative camber on that side exacerbated by toe-out.


Did you lower the car?

imflyinbiya

I have never heard of needing TECH2 for an alignment. Perhaps someone else here can chime in but it appears you are significantly out of spec based on that picture. I am assuming you lowered on bolts (or removed altogether) and never got her readjusted? Clark can fix your car.

MUKAK

actually i raised the car about 3/4 of an inch, car was to low when i bought it, and scraping Zr1 lip and side skirts ( previous owner lowered it and more than likely alignned it )

MUKAK

me either, but i read on the forum that Active handling will not be working properly if aligned without ZEROING STEERING SENSOR with TECH2

can some1 with C6 thats knows his SH*T chip in?

Bo, do u do HPDEs still? hit me up next time u go, we will roll together

tahnks

imflyinbiya

Not as many as I'd like but we have been auto-x'ing more frequently. May plan a Streets or Buttonwillow soon though. I will let you know!

Where'd you go?

You got 25,000 miles out of your tires?

Did you confirm on the printed report that all final measurements were within spec? They didn't do a good job for me. Their comment after I complained: "We only move shims and cams". They apparently didn't think I could comprehend the report!

oldC5

Yes, after installing pfadt coil overs. I made sure they set the alignment to pfadt specs. I double checked it. I am OCD on my cars. Maybe they had a bad day .

B y r o n

Yes, I verified the numbers were within spec.

They are an alignment shop so rod adjustments and shims are about any alignment shop would do. If something was off with one of the cradles then you would need to take your car to an actual frame shop where they have the equipment to handle major frame component adjustment.
