Fiat repair near Milwaukee

Post by kbee00 »

Hello,

I am looking for a Fiat mechanic that can do an alignment on my 124 spider. I replaced the entire front suspension and am having tracking issues. If anyone can recommend someone near Waukesha/Milwaukee WI please let me know. I can be reached via my email or cell:

Thank you for your help!

I had someone help me replace my control arms, then took it to one of the national tire stores and they did the caster,camber and toe in for me.

I did the same thing but they had to dig into their old books to find the right settings was funny, but they got it right.

Loren,

I had mine done at the local Midas shop. Came out fine. Here's a couple links:

thanks Doug - I will take those settings with me and find a local shop. I really appreciate the help! I was concerned about using a national shop - hopefully it will go fine.
