West End in Gardena. Period. People don't realize how IMPORTANT and essential a good alignment is and Darin is the best.

On a stockish Corvette I don't think it makes that much difference. As long as the eccentrics get torqued. But I guess "good" is still better than "not good" if you are going to the trouble

I use Tucker Tire in Covina. Their alignment tech is really good. He can do oem specs or whatever you give him. He dialed my car in pretty good for street driving with some track days here n there.

I don't live in the area, but my advice is to contact a couple of local body shops. Some repairs are tougher than others, and some extra tough alignments are sent out when a higher skill level is required. These are the alignment shops you want to identify.

You can probably figure out other people to call , but that is how I would look for a local alignment. I , personally, went to West End in Gardena, because of the reputation of the shop he used to work for , one of two of my local shops known for excellence.

What caught my eye is the passenger side rear tire is very close to the fender compared to the drivers side. Im running BF Goodrich 205 75/R15 Silvertown redline radials. I’m hoping the alignment will correct that.

All great information, I highly appreciate all of it. Thank you all.
