Re: Alignment specs (Bandit1)
Thanks for your info.
Stayed with the guy who has been doing alignments for 40 years. This is his own shop and all he does - alignments. He showed me everything there was to know about aligning the vette! Man, it was way the hell out of alignment! He showed me specs when I brought it in, then he brought up where it should be. No wonder the old tires had worn the way they did! He told me how my old tires should have looked and he was right on the button!
But the car didn't pull either direction - straight down the road. But felt nervous going over bumps or ripples.
He brought the specs right in to exactly where they should be. And kept on checking them. Then tighten everything up. He spent 3 hours on it for $60.00.
What a difference in how the C5 feels planted to the road. No nervousness or stutters over the bumps and ripples. Tracks dead straight!
:D :D :thumbs:
