My experience has varied, but 2-4 hours and $200-400 has covered it. I think you will get a wide range of estimates and opinions on this.

Depends how far off it is in the first place. I recently spent $250 for a corner balance and alignment. I would guess anywhere from 1-3 hours.

I would agree with Jason, 2-4 hrs should do it.

Cost $400 and 3.5hrs for corner weight with me sitting in the car, set ride height, and alignment with kinematic toe guage. Expensive but I'm very satisfied with the result.

Height adjustment set up $0 - DIY

Corner balance ..... $0 - done in my friend's garage ( he is a circle track racer - these guys really tweak their cars to the nth degree - a lot to be learned from them on set-up)

Alignment - Dealer prices, what can I say ....I did the rear with my friends gauges - and it was spot on - could have dialed in the fronts too, but as the Dealer has the Kinematic gauges, that's where you must go

When I had the Bilsteins fiited by OPC they did the alignment and the car feels great. But since I don't do much track driving how important is corner-weighting for day to day driving?

Hey John / bolo,

I see you are in Severna Park. I'm practically right next door in Millersville.

The only time I have taken my car in to a pro was to get a corner balance/alignment. I had TPC up in Jessup do it for me. They did a great job I must admit and I've been getting 15k+ out of the rears - all commute miles.

I've been getting estimates on a clutch/flywheel job too and they seem to be very reasonably priced.
