    Middleton and Meades in Baltimore is the best front end and frame shop in the east Chicago Fire Dept sends their fire trucks there,
    most shops and dealers only do half an alignment ,,they can not adjust camber and caster by bending an axle.
    Their was an other good one in Milwaukee but I can not remember the name,,If you have an alignment done make sure that if necessary they can bend the axle as well as align the drives too other wise you are not getting a proper job done,,
    I bought a new Mack dump truck back in 1989, told the dealer as I have done with every new truck to do an alignment before I took delivery, Baltimore Mack assured me that "NEW MACK TRUCKS ARE ALIGNED AT THE FACTORY" .
    Well in less than 20,000 miles I wore a steer tire down to the cords,
    Took it to Middleton and Meades and they had to bend the heck out of the front axle,
