After dragging my teener up and down the coast , doing some serious rust repair, new shocks all around, Urethane bushings all around ,repaired transaxle, new steel fuel lines,
2 broken windshields (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) and a laundry list of other misc. stuff, 10 yrs later it's almost ready for the road again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Because i've had my front and rear suspension completely apart, I need to find a good shop to do a four wheel alignment. NOT Discount tire or any of those places, someplace that knows teeners and will have the rear shims on hand. I live out in Apache Junction so the closer to there the better. Thanks for the help. |

After all the DIY that you've accomplished, don't be afraid to DIY the alignment. Lotsa luck finding anyone with shims on hand anyway. Park on a level spot. Put some slippery trash bags under all 4 wheels, and settle the suspension. Set up fishing line strings parallel to both front & rear hub centers to check toe, then dangle plumb bobs over each wheel to check camber & you're able to get really close to what any alignment shop can do with their fancy laser stuff.

Love this type of creative DIY advice. Not too technical but free Thx for sharing. |
