Edmonton Alignment Shop
Anybody recommend a good alignment shop that knows our cars? I didn't re-align my car when I switched from 9" to 8" rims and I notice an aweful lot of camber in the front wheels and the wear on the inside of the tire is tremendous. I could adjust the upper A-arms myself but would rather a pro do it.

Hey Troy

Southridge Fountain Tire (Owner: Terry Powell is great guy!)

3303 97 STREET
780-463-5545

Dave Wilson is the shop foreman, and alignment guy and a very good friend of mine. He is Mustang crazy and drag races and builds them. Currently putting a Blown 4.6 in a 87 stang. He did my Cobra and all my projects and is very careful and will set it up as aggressive as you want. He's done a few FFr's. Also great guy for changing tires on expensive rims!!


Good Luck
John

Thanks guys. I will get it in next week. I did put a full turn into each upper a-arm and the twitchyness of the car is gone, but I can also feel the need for more muscle on the wheel through the corners.

Troy, for another option I always use Fountain Tire on St. Albert Trail.

They're all hot rodders and are familiar with FFRs.
