4 Wheel Alignment for C5 (LA, CA., area)

the tourist · 01-13-2003, 05:01 PM

I'm looking for a facility that has "state of the art" 4 wheel alignment equipment. Anybody know of one? Thanks for any assistance.
I need the following settings:
Camber
Caster
Toe
Steering Axis Inclination (SAI)
Included Angle
Scrub Radius
Riding Height
Set Back
Thrust Angle
Steering Center
Toe Out on Turns

Call Dave T. at Stokes Tire in Santa Monica (Santa Monica Blvd. at 11th St.) and tell him what you need. A lot of us use Stokes for alignment. My experience is that they will take the extra time to try to get the specs almost dead on to what you want, rather than the usual plus or minus .25 degrees.

I took my car to Guldstrand Motorsports in Burbank to have the suspension upgraded and aligned. Dick Guldstrand is a Corvette racing legend, and truly knows his stuff. www.guldstrand.com

I have tried a couple of tire shops in the Conejo Valley, that were supposed to have good equipment, but I have been disappointed with their work. I finally gave up and went to Guldstrand.......now I'm satisfied.

Closer to home, Bob's Alignment on Thousand Oaks Blvd did a great job on mine.

I'd have to go with Guildstrand in Burbank, they seem to know what it takes from speaking with them about a month ago.

Guldstrand sends their cars to Tyerman's for alignment (SSSHHHH - secret!)...tell them Oliver sent you......
