Like I said, I work at a dealer, just make sure the guy doing the alignment knows how to align with shims and they aren't just going to do a "toe and go"

Most of the guys here are too young to know what alignment shims are.

Pretty cool to go to him because you never know what cool stuff you will see there.

If I had that much issue, I would seriously think about that slick little $399 in home garage alignment set-up.
In Tulsa the ONLY person I trust in the alignment dept for my C3 is Andy at Admiral Alignment. Thus guy is a pro, and has set up more Corvette aligments in Tulsa than anyone else I know of. Expect 2 to 3 hrs for front and rear alignment. Great guy, but expect a week or so wait as he's ALWAYS busy
