Alignment shops?

[Daddy4zack]

Anyone taken there bronco to an alignment shop? If so witch one? Got the 37's on and it wanders a little.. I think i need to adjust my toe in a little.. But now I am wondering about my other parameters.. Is there an easy do it your self home guide? Maybe I am just being picky.. But it does ride like a Cadillac..

Re: Alignment shops?

Aaron, any alignment shop should be able to at least tell you where you're at. The most they can do is adjust your toe-in but getting the camber and caster readings can tell you a lot.

I took my Bronco to a local mom-n-pop type place and they told me exactly where I stood, and adjusted the toe for a very nominal fee. You can try setting your toe with a tape measure but I think its worth having it checked out at a shop. Mine handles MUCH better after having the toe set - it was set too far in and was a little over-reactive on twisty roads.

Firestone on Folsom Boulevard. Call first and see if Mike is working. Mike has been doing it for years. I totally trust him. Worked with him when I was working collision repair. Have him do it.

I think Big O in EDH does them and they are familiar with big tire stuff too.

Exactly....Go see Chris up there. He will get you set up. He's a good guy even if he does wheel a Jeep.

Re: Alignment shops?

Broncos dont need alignments, you just rotate the tires every 1000 miles
