"Wheeler's Anonymous"

Yeah I wouldn't go fast out there. I can crawl a bit.

 

fuuuuck that's a trek....with the gas mileage I get lately I dunno if it would be worth it lol. I need to get it custom aligned...need a place that's willing to mess with the SPC UCAs to get it dialed in just right. Firestone won't touch them, at least the one out here won't. I gave them the spec sheet that I printed out off the SPC website on the different variations in degrees on the UCAs and they looked at me like I was crazy. But if another one will do it then I'll look into it.

 

The Downey one should. Ask for James

 

I've had this experience as well. Last firestone(s) I've gone to have been lame.

 

I think the main culprit for me is the SPCs...them being adjustable is a blessing and a curse. Good for customizing on lifted applications but not good for run of the mill alignment shops that only want to do factory specs.

 

If you are near Glendora there's a place called bear frame and wheel on arrow highway and Glendora.

They do everything stock,race cars /trucks, my dad asks for specific numbers on his alignments and never has any issues

I believe it's 45 an axle

 

Hopefully...they tend to get knocked out of alignment from what I've read on here when beaten offroad though. I need to look into adjusting them myself so I know what setting they need to stay at.

 

I paid a pretty penny for an alignment but they got me SPOT on to the numbers I wanted. I'll be back.

 

Shit that ain't bad at all.

 

That the place you were telling me about at Drinkwater? What was the name of it?
I'll probably just end up making the trek out to the Downey Firestone that everyone recommends and see if they can do it for me with the lifetime package I have, or at least at a discount with it.

 

Nope they are pros and they're shop is pretty cool.

 

Yeah that's the sad part. I'd pay a tad extra. I'm actually thinking as long as my caster doesn't get too fucked they can just fix toe after each trip. That's the only thing that gets smashed up for me all the time...

Brake Masters in Montclaire I believe it is. It's off Mission Ave.

 

I have that problem too, lol.

 

Firestone lifetimes are good at any Firestone

 

yeah I just meant to do a custom alignment (not factory)...most places charge extra for it

 

Or worse: won't even do it

 

Like I said before. Ask for James at the Downey Firestone. Lots of guys here have gone their. He has a heep and wheels and he knows what he's doing. He got mine set after I installed my spc and kings

 

yeah I've got the guy's name and place memorized by now lol. It'll happen eventually, I put off the boring stuff like alignments for the more expensive and fun things (like new suspension). It's the TW disease

Surprisingly my new tires I got 6 months ago seem to be wearing well despite the crappy alignments I get, so that's good. I don't do nearly as much freeway driving though since I moved closer to work so that's probably got a lot to do with it.

 

Like a Chevy lol

 

They do my alignment. I go in the garage the whole time the guy is doing it. Basically I tell him what to do.haha
