Default Front End Alignment

I live in Kansas City, Missouri, just replaced tires and wheels on my 04 Convertible. I need to know the best place in KC to get a front end alignment.

You might think about a 4 wheel alignment.

It is the only way to go on these cars. Not much more and the only way to make sure the car is running true.

Try to contact your area Rep. for Hunter Engineering (hunter.com).
He'll know a good shop with good equipment and a good tech.
I assume you use the term "front end alignment" meaning a proper alignment. A good shop won't even consider anything but a total four wheel alignment for a 'Vette

Contact forum member C5Nate - he lives in KC and is a member of the Kansas City Corvette Assocation - I'd bet he can give you a recommendation for a good shop.

We have several members who use:

http://www.santafegarage.com/src/Vie...ls.aspx?HID=37

They specialize in performance vehicles. They can set your Vette up for great street or track performance.

Come visit KCCA at:

We are at the World of Wheels show this weekend.

What did you do with the old wheels?
