Does anyone know where to get an alignment done on my cobra for a reasonable price? I had a bent tie rod and i need an alignment but i don;t have 200 bucks to spend on a "performance alignment". i have the print sheet of what my last alingment numbers are will that help?

I live in the southbay, so sanjose area would be best?

thanks

Custom Alignment in Mtvw is the best. They've worked on my Bullitt and Cobra 427 S/C. Excellent work. Highly recommended!

Have Fun,

the alignment shop that Maier Racing sends their cars too is very reasonable and very "performance" oriented. I cant recall the name off the top of my head by they are right next door to Maiers. The next guy I would ask is Elliot of Mustang Corral in Santa Clara -he knows his shit.

I had my "original" bump steer alignment with the Griggs set up aligned at Custom Alignment. They do really good work and are one of the few companies in NoCal that really know how to do a perf alignment. That being the case they are usually very backed up.

I needed an alignment in a hurry (tires are expensive and I commute in my Cobra) and took my car to the America Tire (?) next to the Ducati dealer on El Camino. Not sure if that is Sunnyvale or Mtn. View. Any way, they had no problem doing it and did a real nice job. Do bring your previous print out though so there is no question as to what you want.

What is your setup? Cole also did my motor, and I have the griggs autoX/opentrack kit.
