Gents.

Any suggestion for wheel alignment in So Cal area, Dealer wants $480 for alignment which I think is ridiculous. I've replaced coil springs, (velocity AP) looks like it's got negative camber just by looking at wheels. I want to get 4 wheel alignment done. Does anyone have Specs from Aston Martin publications. I have local alignment shop that most likely can do it for me for $100, but want to compare the specs before we do it.

Thanks in advance

 

Glad this came up--I'm due for an alignment, as well.

For anyone with experience in Aston Martin alignments, is there a reason the dealership charges five times as much as a place like NTB? My local NTB has been great with all my other cars, so I'd like to take the Vantage there, but wasn't sure what I'd be losing out on.

 

Most of the alignment machines have AM factory specs available in the system and the tech will adjust camber, caster, toe and thrust angle accordingly to them within the acceptable range (green zone). Normal alignment is about an hour and they usually stop at "good enough". It takes skills and time to match sides.

 

Here are the alignment specs from the workshop manual.

 

Jeff 335i, Would you also have the specs for 09MY SportsPack? Thanks

 

That's the only page about alignment in the 1,000+ page manual I have.

It does have a chart that says it's for 2008.5 Sport Pack cars and All 2009+ V8's. Looks like all the 2009 and newer cars use the same alignment settings?

 

Thanks, I will run with that.

thanks for the info.

 

I have used: globe motor sports on la cienega
I would also look at: South Bay British in Torrance if you really want the work done by an AM specialist

 

Globe dropped my 911 off a hoist once after forgetting to lock it. I would recommend Stokes Tire on Santa Monica Blvd.
