anybody can recommend a decent alignment shop in Los Angele area?

i had BJ spacers and new shocks, new tires are coming in, too. i've been trying to find a good alignment shop for a while but those i've visited, .....what can i say? they all seems kinda lost, either bunch of kids running the shop or few dudes looks more like gardeners with wrenches(instead of weed wackers).

any of you knows one who can do it right?


thanks.

not sure where you are located but there's a shop in Orange that aligned my 62 Nova which has an aftermarket front end with no problem. Accurate Alignment on Batavia in Orange, look them up.

thanks, blurr.

i called the shop, the owner is getting married, so they will be closed this weekend. sounds like a very busy shop, they are gotta know the off-road stuff because the dude answered my phone specificly asked me if my truck is lifted and the tire size once i told them i have a 4Runner.

btw, i live in pasadena area. 35miles to that shop.

i have all OME in the rear(don't take this the wrong way), i'm very happy with it. i'd pick the regular spring instead of HD. if you are planning on a lift, the panhard drop bracket is a MUST. i had a shop installed the spring and shocks for $80(2x $40/hour). you can DIY, but the shock top nuts were total PITA to get. the drop bracket you can do later, should take no more than 30 minutes all by yourself.

Try Tyerman in Burbank. When I lived there they were very good.

thanks fellas. i just had the tires done this morning, Bridgestone Duller Mud Terrians are in, Goodyear Wrangler GS A's are out. i'll call these shops try to get an appointment set up.

geez, those mudders are noisey. maybe it's gonna be better after the alignment is corrected. wish me luck
