Default Paging MN-Brent: alignment question

Hi Brent, I saw a post awhile back on car-vette.com where you were looking for a recomendation for an alignment shop. Did you find someone and if so, are you happy with the job. I'm almost ready to fire mine up and will need to get it aligned also. Thanks,
Dave

I think I responded to that post, and I will again. Go to Twin City Tire on Lyndale Avenue in Bloomington (86th or so). They did a great 4 wheel laser alignment on my car. It tracked like crap before, but tracks arrow straight since the alignment. HUGE improvement.

Thanks AC, I will keep them in mind. I didn't want to drive quite that far since I r&r'd both front and rear suspension and don't know how far off it is now. After cam break in I'll try a short run and see if its close enough to drive down there.

Havent installed my new tie rod ends yet. Im lazy I guess. Too many other sticks in the fire I suppose.

I will probably ask the guys at Wardsport (Boos Performance) or Pat at the Corvette Shop in Ham Lake. Pat said whenever he does front end work, he has a place that he sends the cars to for alignment. It will be in the north metro, so its closer to home.

Brent...

I just took out my diff and got it rebuilt and put the rear suspension all back together. I don't think I threw anything out of line, but I will be going to go back to TC tire and get another alignment to make sure. I'll let you guys know if they are still any good (it's been about 10 years since the last alignment there).
