Wheel Alignment Specs for L300

Sup folks??

So I goes to get my '93 Super Exceed L300 in for an alignment as it pulls to the right while driving down the road. The place I use here in Peterborough won't do it because they don't have the specs and recommend the dealer as my alternative. guess what??They won't touch it either.

And I'm thinking specs? I didn't know they needed specs?? But as brilliant as I am, it does make sense when given some thought....

So I went on here to see what's up. There were quite a few older posts but nothing conscisive. And since I'm mechanically declined, it was a bit like reading a foreign language.

Sooooo, does anyone have the specs straight up for a '93 L300 that we know will work? Something I can take to my mechanic? I have a great mechanic friend who has worked for VW for the past 40 years. I'm sure he can do the alignment at his shop with the right info.

And as always, thanks in advance for any help. I've only owned the van for a few months and I just love it. The site rocks too:)

If you have a great mechanic friend just ask him to do an old fashioned alignment so the front matches the rear. I had an allifbment done in Ithaca New York and the shop looked up specs themselves and found them so if the "stupid Americans" can do it anyone should be able to. :-D

Thanks everybody!! I got the specs on paper now and my mechanic friend at the local VW dealership says he's happy to give it a go. Even on a Saturday no less:)

Cheers
