I need an alignment, the Talon pulls to the left pretty good now. Just wondering where you guys recommend.... No super street tuned racing alignment, just a normal priced stock (if there is such a thing) alignment.

We do them at Laszewski's. I'd check it over yourself before you bring it in. Is everything in the front end tight? Are one of the front brake calipers sticking? Is the tire pressure OK? Also you may try swapping your two front tires as they may be causing the pull.

Did this pull to the left start all of a sudden? Did you hit any potholes?

If you plan on keeping the car..... go to firestone and get a lifetime alignment. That is what I do for all my race cars. I then get a race alignment for summer and street alignment for winter. Sometimes I take it in just for the hell of it.

If it's not too rediculous I might do the lifetime one.... Otherwise I'll bring it to you Tom if I don't find otherwise, I'll have a crack at lookin at it myself and let you know.

The lifetime is like $140. I've used it on the EVO 4-5 times now. I used it on my probe at least 10x. Everytime I changed the coilover hieght I took it in.

Do you have the laser-type alignment yet? Whenever i take my cars to someplace for an alignment they cant get it up on the rack because its too low.

If you can clear a 4 inch piece at the end of the rack then we can do it.

Here the rack.

tsi II most likely your tires just need to be swap from the sound of that. haven't really heard much of dsm's having front suspension problems unless it's "DROPPED"

No suspension here, and the tires weren't new when I got them and it's been over a year.... I'll see how it goes.
