Anyone know a GOOD alignment shop in the Tracy, Livermore, Dublin area? I've got an old school with rack and pinion set up that needs to be aligned.

I swapped from the original '68 steering setup to the rack and pinion. I also put new springs in.

I replaced most everything on the front end. It needs to be set up from scratch.

Yeah finally got it in. I had a bad alignment on the old setup, so rather than fix it, i finally replaced it.

If you are willing to drive to Castro Valley, Roger Krauss did the alignment on my '65. It's the best alignment I've had on any of my vehicles.

They did the alignment on my 03. Excellent work, and great customer service.
