Anyone know a good shop around the Southwest side
that can tell me if there is something damaged on my alignment? I hit a pot hole and it damaged the wheel, tire and upper control arm that I can see. I replaced all those and I still have slight pulling to the right after I have been to an alignment shop 5+ times. All readings have been in the green. One thing I have yet to try, but will before I go into the shop, is swapping my two front wheels to the opposite side. Btw its a 2006 Z06. If anyone knows of a good place and won't charge me $150 to hook it up to a frame machine and take measurements please let me know.

im pretty sure if you had frame damage it would show up on the alignment machine . the only times i had to send a car to the frame machine or change parts was if i ran out of adjustment. i would also look into the print out of your alignment , it is very possible that the tolerances might be wrong

The guy has everything pretty much on 0* for the tow (i think). Like I said I went there before I hit this pot hole and he set it up good. Now ever since hitting this damn thing I can't get it straight. Is it possible I may have damaged my lower control arm as well? I know the upper was pretty badly bent.

It is kinda far but the guy I use for body work uses a frame shop in pasadena, then had it sent to an alignment shop. Paper work is out in the car. I hit a freeway retaining wall and bent the hell out of the lca.At least that I is what I suspect. Chemo and ambien and driving not a good mix.
PM me I can give you the # to the shop. I just got mine back and hope it was done right. It drives straight but long term tire wear will be the true test.
It would be nice if we could have a sticky of shops that have done good work for us. But I guess that would upset the sponsors.
