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.

did u only change the rack and pinoin from the previous alignment?

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

if u had it aligned before and didn't move the controls arms or shims when the springs got removed it should still be gd for the camber and caster. just gotta set toe then, i could walk u threw setting it if u wish.

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.
