Alignment in... Lower Mainland!

Post by RichD »

Okay so I started a thread about alignment in Calgary... but they couldn't fit me in on a Friday.

So I'm back in BC and still need an alignment done. Recommendations please!

I'm considering contacting J-super-Farsang first and getting a 2" lift ki - shh SHH! Maria's coming - yes so I'm very pleased with all the mods to the truck and wouldn't change a thing. Mm hmm yes yes. Alright mates gotta run!

Hey,
If you go for a lift which is a good good thing,
don't bother with an alignment until after the
alignment is done.

Also pick out yer rims and tires carefully,
clearance issues are par for the course of course. :-)
(But well worth it :-D )

I think there are a few other outfits that
can align you rig too,search around
(not always as forthcoming as hoped I know,
using Google in conjunction seems to help)

Right On! 8-)

Of course. :-)

Can't afford to change these yet. Have two sets of tires to use up before I'll up-size.

yup yup, looking for recommendations and especially one with the necessary tool for torsion rod adjustment (mine desperately need to be adjusted).

Very good sir,carry on then...

CC auto does it quick and cheap,wrong side
of the pond for Burnabaians though.

I believe the torsion adjust can be done with
a ratcheting wrench too (17mm),so the special
socket is not mandatory.

Should be lots of outfits in the richmond JDM district
that can do it... (anyone?)
Right On! 8-)

If I remember correctly off the top of my head, it's zeros all-round.

For further clarification and a little bedtime reading: http://www.delica.ca/forum/alignment-sp ... ight=align

Best way to search this site is not with the search bar, but with Google: "alignment site:delica.ca" spat out this thread in less than 400 milliseconds.

This guys are good for sure, but I don't think it worth the drive. Just take the alignment specs and go to any 4-wheel-laser alignment shops in the Lower Mainland. Dale doesn't to torsion bar (only if you go with Jesse :)

Ditto.

Any decent alignment shop with the lazer's should do them.

I do apologize with Dale's. Apparently it's a hit or miss whether or not they'll level off the tbars for you. Being a favorite of course helps when I go in but that does nothing for all of my fellow delica members :M

I've been reading this thread (and others) related to alignment. My van is pulling right, just a bit so I started reading about alignment. I have new tires and there is no weird wear (yet).
I don't need to change much on my van, no lift, no major off-roading, I just want to make sure it runs straight and smoothly. Suggestions?
