[Roadsters] Camber and Caster

[Dewey Hahlbohm]

I totally agree.  After rebuilding my front end last winter I took it to the best alignment shop in town.  The car now tracks, steers, turns like a race car.  I think the key is, do not let the run of the mill shop touch your hard work, go to the best you can find. 

BTW, he charged me $99.00 for over 2 hours hard work.  I think he enjoyed the challenge of working on a clean classic.      

Good luck, Dewey
