I got new shocks, new brakes and new tie rods on the car now. Time to put it on the alignment machine. Anybody here do wheel alignments. I am itching to get my car back on the road again.

Was wondering where ya been. AJ does alignments at grapevine NTB and if he's not available try Brandon at Lewisville NTB.
Working too hard and hiding my broken car in the garage. Just got the time and money to fix everything.Quote:

Cool. NTB Grapevine it is.

Does he work Saturdays? My work schedule as of today doesn't allow me to take off during the week.
Yes, he works pretty much every Saturday.
AJ got it done. It's ready for next weeks autocross. ::Banana::

How much did it cost?
TIA
Brandon did mine today, he works at the NTB grapevine mills parkway, he said Wednesdays are the only day he is normally not working. He used my specs, and let me sit in the car and is overall a good guy and recommended by AJ (BAM!). It was free under my 3 year alignment but I did tip him.
Brandon did mine and Ken's while AJ was between locations.
IIRC, AJ(BAM!) told me that he was taught by Brandon.
+1 on Brandon. Great job, and I heard the same as far as him being AJ's mentor.
AJ did it at Grapevine Mills. He said something about usually working in management so he may not normally be doing this. Brandon was not working that day because he was out of town. He also did the V8 Miata after mine. I sat in the car while he aligned it and I let him determine the specs because the springs and bushings were a little bit worn. Cost was $120. The car feels a lot better now.Quote:

The measurement ahead of the A-arms should be about 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch narrower than the measurement behind the A-arms. This will get you to the alignment shop without scrubbing off the outside edges of the front tires.
