Alignment Shop in the Valley/LA area

I recently had 6112 and 5160, ome medium leaf pack, and SPC UCAs installed on my 19 LB OR. The truck keeps drifting to the right and I’ve been to 4 different places but no one has been able to get the alignment done right. The truck keeps drifting a bit to the right. The last guy told me it was because the front coil overs were adjusted at different heights (to avoid the lean and that’s how it was recommended to me). Does anyone know of a alignment shop that can fix this?

 

I went to the pep boys in sunland per some recommendations and was very happy with the numbers after they were done

 

I learned a long time ago if you want a good burger go to a burger place not a donut shop that makes burgers, having said that you need to find a place that all they do is alignments I know a place here tht all they do is alignments its called BEAR FRAME AND WHEEL in Glendora, Ca just google it

 

I second Bear Frame and Wheel! Those guys know what they are doing!

 

I would also suggest RPM Garage in Monrovia if you're willing to go that far

 

I scheduled an appointment with RPM for this upcoming Monday, hopefully this nightmare is over soon!

 

Let me know how it goes! I need to take my truck in for this exact issue as well. I work in Pasadena so It'll be somewhat close I guess :/

 

Just take it to thee alignment shop, RPM is going to make you drop off the truck

 

With an appointment RPM should have the truck out in less than an hour. They specialize in off road vehicles.

I had the same issue as OP. Other alignment shops couldn't get my alignment right with SPC UCAs. Most shops don't know how to work with adjustable UCAs.

 

got my truck aligned this morning at RPM and they fixed the issue! I would definitely recommend it! I had about 4 other shops take a shot at and nobody could get it right. You’ll see about 20 Toyotas parked outside so this is what they specialize in. I heavily recommend you make an appointment though

 

What alignment numbers did they get you if you don't mind me asking.

 

Camber .0
Caster 3.3
Toe .08

it’s the same for both sides

 

Not bad at all. Do you know if RPM adjusted the UCA to get you the caster you wanted?

Reason I ask is because I recently went to alignment shop and they only adjust the lower stuff and only got me 2.8 on each side with Icon Billet UCA even though I wanted as close to 3.5 - 4.0(Owner said he didn't touch the UCA because it doesn't adjust much).

 

I did OPs install and adjusted his SPC UCAs to add 1 degree of caster before he got the alignment. That most likely explains his high caster and I doubt they had to move them more at RPM to get those numbers.

The billet icon UCAs have a lot of adjustment in them but they’re a pain to adjust because of the way the heim rod ends are located. Icon designed them to be able to be adjusted while on the truck, but a lot of people that aren’t familiar with their adjustment collar will just see a heim joint and assume it needs to be removed from the truck to adjust so they’ll avoid it. I hate doing it personally because there’s hardly any room to get your hand in there and adjust them so I’ll try and adjust them before installing if the customer requests it. Race car parts need race car shops to get all the adjustability you can out of them. Which is why RPM is so popular for modified truck alignments.

 

Thanks for your input! I will definitely give them a call!
