A quick ?, How did you know it needed alignment, because I dropped mine but it doesn't sway one way when I brake and let go of the steering wheel.

Mark at MSI is great if you want to go that way and Brendon at Krause
is very good as well. I had a local shop do mine after 3 years and he
noted that stock alignment isn't always too precise, some are surprised
at how wide the stock spec can be. Also, the local shops I've talked to
didn't have a clue beyond what was in the spec book. If you want to
understand how to make it handle better, get a pro who knows the
Vette.

Had mine aligned and corner-weighted at Krause racing. They did a great job! Brandon Krause does all the alignments - He knows his stuff! . . . AND he knows Vettes!

I do over 300 Corvette alignments each year and offer corner weighting for the racers as well. I've been doing CWs and Alignments since 1980 when I started racing.
