Good evening all, I'll be finishing up my suspension rebuild on the 78 within a few weeks, I'm looking for sugestions for a good alignment shop in southeast lower Michigan, anyone out there with good experience with any shops?

 

I wish ya luck, not everybody can align a Vette,
ya got ta do both ends!

 

Most shops won't do a Vette because it can take hours to to remove the shims to get the "toe in" on the rear correct. If you have new shims on the rear than any shop can do it.
The problem I encountered is 'What are the specs?" In the owners manual the specs are different than whats listed in the service manual.
I went to Goodyear and they had there own numbers in there computer. They gave me a print out of before and after, so now I have even more numbers.
What do all the numbers mean? I don't know! But my car rides fine, hope this helps. PG

 

Thanks pg, I replaced all the bushings, u-joints, new composit spring, all new hardware and new stainless shims, also H.D. adjustable struts, it should be an easy job for an experienced shop, I just don't have any contacts for vette shops in my area.

 

Try Harold"s Frame Shop on Grand River in Novi. They do great alignments on vettes!!

 

Thanks watwheel, I'll give them a call.
