Front End Alignment
Yesterday my car was hit from the right front. I noticed the front end is pulling to the right when braking.
Anything special to know when getting the C5 front end aligned? Can the dealer do it or will some other place be better?

Re: Front End Alignment (ohsixx)
The dealer should be able to do this.
But for safety reasons, do you know what damage caused this misalignment? I do not know how the impact happened, but take a close look to all suspension parts that are in aluminum. There should be no bending and no cracks visible.

The C5 requires a 4-wheel alignment.. I understand it's a pretty involved process. I just had my dealer do one 2 weeks ago. Cost: $199

Re: Front End Alignment (ohsixx)
After Goodyear screwed mine up twice (steering wheel was off center), I took to the dealer and was statisfied with the work, even though it cost more--about $140.
