four (4) wheel alignment
I'm looking for a good place to take my 73 for a 4 wheel alignment in one of the following locations:
Lancaster / Palmdale
Los Angeles Area
Bakersfield
Victorville
Any suggestions out there?
Thanks.

Hello
I replaced the trailing arm on my vette, and needed a 4 wheel alignment. To find a good shop I did not ask "IF" they did rear end corvette alignments, but "HOW" they did rear end corvette alignments.
I took my 75 to Wheel Works in San Jose. The reason is that the person I was talking to said that they adjust rear end toe in/out by replacing the shims in the trailing arms. I asked to see the shims they use, and he showed me the correct ones. I am not saying that this makes them an expert, but at least they had the right stuff to do the alignment.
By the way it took them over 5 hours to do the alignment because of getting to the shims in the non replaced trailing arm. The cost was $325 for all 4 wheels.
