Apparently hitting an ice patch at 80 mph and spinning out into a snowbank will knock your alignment out of whack. So please anyone near chicago know how to properly align a shark. Thanks i tried a search. El zippo.

Wherever you end up going measure the height in front before and after to make sure they didn't raise the car. And good luck finding anyone who'll actually torque the rear camber bolts to 140 ft-lbs. Those buggers are hard to get a torque wrench on, probably have to drop the muffler to do it right.

Other than those two issues the rest is pretty routine.

Any Sears automotive shop with the modern Hunter laser alignment system should be able to do a 928.

Read the FAQ topic for specific details on aligning the 928.

Have you tried Midwest Eurosport?

I don't have any personal 928 experience, but I know they support a couple of 928 race cars that I've seen in their shop.

Haven't tried them out yet for the 928, but Ashland Tire and Auto says they can do it without lifting. They're great for everything else, so I'd believe it.

Fischers Motors can handle that, in Lake Barrington.

I think time has been out friend with respect to alignment. Most shops will not take the wheels off the ground, and they will use a Hunter model alignment rig. those things are amazingly precise. They will place sensor on the outside of your tires, and roll your car about a foot. This will then trow up your alignment specs. Toe is easy, Camber is also easy. Just make sure they retorque your adjusters. the Caster can be difficult. Also make sure they have turn plates. they also make the job simpler.

What I discovered is that if you do not release the lower control arms (Actually undo the mounting bolts) the car will settle pretty quickly after a short drive. You do want the car settled, so if the tires do come off the ground, then it is best drive it before they actually roll the car on the alignment rig.

Most shops, can do this job. technology has caught up with our cars. the only big issue is if you release the tension on th lower control arm.

This is also a good time for you to adjust the ride height, and you should do that before the alignment...
