How are your tires wearing? No matter what, if you don't rotate your tires your going to get edge wear on the front. On a Fox body they will wear on the outer edge, you have to expect that. I ran 245-45's up front and 275-40's in the rear so I couldn't rotate them so I had normal edge wear. Don't let tire shops lie to you and say you need an alignment just because of edge wear. If you have a ton of tread left with one bald edge then you could have a problem. Also, people assume if the car pulls or the wheel shakes its an alignment issue. Most times unless you have something seriously worn out or have hit something its the tire causing your problem. Radial pull is a common problem, I've seen it in new and used tires. Mustangs have a very solid front suspension, I've rarely seen bad parts even on very high mileage cars. Sorry for rambling, I've just dealt with suspension and tires a lot in the past and can't stand the lies shops tell just to upsell work.

Do you know if they're good with doing custom alignments (i.e. adjusting cc plates)?

Thanks

If you want a "good" but "basic" alignment go to House of Brakes in SF. If you want a "really good" but expensive one then take it to Custom Alignment in the south bay
