Alignment Shop Recommendation for Hudson Valley NY?

Anyone have a good recommendation in the Poughkeepsie area? Willing to drive a decent distance for somewhere good that cares more about getting it just right than the usual options. Thanks.

I live in wappingers.. there really isn't any locally that I recommend.. Reach out to Speedsport in Danbury or just troop down to ACM.

Cool, thanks. I’m going to take a crack at it with a string setup and see where I get. If that doesn’t get me where I want to be I’ll definitely check out Speedsport.

OK, so I found and fixed the big issue with the alignment. The right rear was toed out about 3mm, so in combination with the toed in left rear, the rear axle was basically set up to constantly steer the rear to the right.

Made an adjustment and got it right in the middle of the factory toe-in spec and the car is tracking much straighter now.

FCP's string alignment video is great. It's really not as hard as it's often made out to be.



The rear eccentric bolts are kind of a pain just because of how vague the adjustment is, but I figured out a target of how far I wanted to move the arm, marked it and measured as I adjusted and got it in the zone the first time.
