    Alignment shop recommendation?

    Hey all,

    I need a recommendation on a alignment shop to get my Mustang done. I'd like to actually get it out but it needs done before I feel comfortable driving it. I also need Steeda ball joints put on. Car is on coil overs and has Maximum Motorsports CC plates. The car is low and I will not change the ride height.

    Any shop in the South Hills area that can tackle it for a good price is what I'm looking for.

    Thanks!

    I know it's not in the south hills but Hills City Service in Greensburg is the best. Beyond compare.

    Hill city service is good.
    I actually plan on trying to take mine to ntb today. They did my car last time. Granted my car isn't as low as yours

    Have used these guys before, they have a drive on-rack that is floor-level, IIRC.

    If you're going North, use Irvine Alignment, someone from here works there and my ride has been dead-on straight for 3 yrs now.

    Put the ball joints on yourself, take it to get aligned.

    If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump

    Called them. He said lowered cars can be a pain in the ass. Guess I'm gonna throw those ball joints on then get it done i guess.

    Daniels did my cobra a couple of years ago. After the rebuild the rear end. Cost around $160 for front and rear.

    He doesn't.
    Barry, fwiw, I had a hell of time getting mine aligned.
    Ntb and sears couldn't get it on the rack.
    Hill city said he could probably get it on but was booked for about a week.
    Currently Goodyear is doing it....well attempting.
    Sendell Chevy Volvo said they could do it but were also booked for a bit.

    I dont get why shops can't align an SN95. Maybe the easiest car in the world to line up.

    Great. Thanks for the info SlowSix. I just don't want to limp the car all the way out to 88 and be told he can't do it.

    Hill city is a joke. I had that place below hempfield highschool right off 66 right there do my mini truck. And it only has an inch and a quarter of frame clearance under it. I forget what it's called, franks auto service maybe?? Go there, they will have no problems!
