Alignment in Kent Wa.
I see a couple of you guys are in the Kent area of Seattle. I'm new to the South, and was just wondering if you have any suggestions for a good place to get my front end worked on. I'm pretty sure I have some worn out parts up there. It sounds like my center caps are rattling around when I go over bumps. But there tight. Not to good! But I've drove it pretty hard and never replaced anything up there just aligned it. I used to go to a place up in Everet, but that's just to far now. Any sugestions?

Well I think it was called tire and wheel factory. I know the phone number was 425-745-2707 though. I had a problem with my front end and Les Schwab couldn't get it alligned. I took it there and they had to put it on a frame bender and pull my right front A-arm forward. It cost me $180, but it drove straight.

Hey there Billy, long time no hear
Give Paul S a buzz. He is just East of Kent at the Les Schwab shop.
I'm sure he will hook you up.
You can check out his pickup, very nice rig he has

I hope I don't need frame work again! Do you replace front end part's at Les Schwab, or just allignment? (Not familiar with all the parts that go out in a front end. A-arm bushings, tie rods, ect.) Do you do it on the side too? I would like to get it done this week if possible.

We can check out the alignment and front end for free. You need to set up an appointment. We do replace front end parts also. I don't really do stuff on the side but am willing to help if possible.

I tried calling the LS in Coventing (I think that's the one you work at Paul), but it was busy both times. So I called the one right down the street from my house in Kent, and set up an appointment for Saturday morning. Hopefully it's not going to cost too much.

Boy-Oh-Boy! Kent Les Schwab came through big time this weekend. Upper and lower ball joints, pitman arm, idler arm (sp??),new rortors,and alignment. $933. And they did it in about 5 hours. All in one day. They had to run around to a couple different stores to get all the parts, but they got it done. They found that my brake pads and wheel bearings were all in good condition, but my rotors were worn down below speck, and warped. Now the thing stops on a dime, drives straight, I ahve an e-brake that works. It's like a new truck. Oh ya, the re-torqued all the bolts on my lift kit while they were down there. I know were I'll be going from now on. Thanks for your help Paul.
