Since I have now replaced all 4 shocks and new rear springs, is it a tricky job to align a 914? Can a regular shop like NTB with proper equipment and no tech named Hans do a good job, or are there secret tricks and chants? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

That's why I bought my own alignment machine and paid to have it checked out and calibrated.
I can now check/adjust my cars when I want and how I want. If you are an avid do-it-yourselfer you can learn to align your car with strings and rulers (and be fairly acurate at that). I know that I will spend the time and effort to get it just right instead of a high school educated "tech" working as an hourly employee..... I used to work in a shop and learned how to actually check suspension components and align the car instead of "getting the readings" on the alignment machine printout. I hope your alignment works out for you. |
