Alignment shop in South KC

I finally got around to checking the alignment on my car. I think I've found out why the car is such a handful at speeds over 60 mph ... the caster is half of what it should be. I'm pretty sure that the toe in isn't quite where it should be either, but I'm positive the caster is off. Camber is ok on the left side and way off on the right side. (Did I mention that the shop that aligned it had problems getting their optical machine to work on my car?)

After taking a couple of months to do a brake job that should have been a weekend exercise, I'm reluctant to attempt a front end alignment by myself (of course I could just wait until Winter when the car will be laid up anyway...)

My Cobra has a Mustang II type front suspension. Does anyone know of an alignment shop (preferably in South KC) that will take the time and make the effort to align this thing properly ... and then work with me as I play around with the alignment settings until I'm satisfied?

Pete,

There is a place out south. The guy that used to own Southern Safety Service in Grandview years ago does alignments at his home now. He is very good. A couple of the guys in the club have used him and been very happy. If you are going to be at Ruby Tuesday on Saturday for the car show, I can point you the right direction.

Al,

Would you email the info to me, thanks!

Pete,

I haven't forgotten you. The guy who has the information has been traveling. He should be at work tomorrow and I'll get the information posted then.

Sorry for the delay.

No problem. I just got back from a 10 day vacation in Alaska myself!
