    anyone know a good alignment shop in the chicago area? I have been to 3 shops and had 3 different answers...bad shock, needs alignment, bad king pins and need the axle replaced. I see nothing wrong with the shock so I do believe it's the kingpins.

    any input would be appreciated. thank you.

    easy to check shocks after running down the road for a good part of day touch the shocks, if warm they are still working, if cold replace them. king pins jack up the axle an try to move the tire in and out any movement kingpins are worn or loose bearings.

    just don't go to EIMA aligment shop!!!!! they do what you want but not correct and when you get back to them they refuse to make it again ,they find 100 reasons to not make it right again example bad tires, shocks, bad tire preassure and so on......

    If you have a shimmy or shake, or vibration an alignment will not fix it. Something is broke or worn.
