1980 Steering and Alignment
I have installed new PS valve, cylinder and after having some problems with the tie-arm ends and Pitman arm, the steering is back together BUT I think it needs to get aligned AND get steering wheel back to 12o'clock when going straight.
I am in Phoenix AZ, but will be coming to Sarasota FL in next couple of weeks... any recommendations of shops in either place to fix me up ??

If your camber and caster were set perfect before, all you really need is a good toe adjustment (tie rods) and you could head over to any shop to do that really.

There is a brake and alignment shop on the corner of Country Club and Baseline, North East Corner. They have pretty low prices and do decent work.
Other than them, the only ones I trust are Network Brakes / Alignment. There are in Mesa and Gilbert.

i would definately get it done there before you come to Fl. Thats a lot of miles to put on and you want to make sure your doing them all safely.

my bad. I'm about 2 hrs N of Sarasota. I don't really know of any one down there. If need be I have a pretty good place around the corner from me that can do it. They do all of ours. Hopefully someone from that area will chime in.
