Finally a shop that "get's it"
Thanks to Randy's suggestion, I made an appointment with Josam in
Orlando, Fl to have a complete alignment (3 axle) and re-balance again. Although a bit pricey, I spent 2 days with the specialists there and not only did they do an extremely thorough alignment, set the ride height and complete suspension/steering checkout. They have a "shaker" in the floor that you drive over axle by axle and it twists and move the suspension while the brakes ar4e applied and a specialist watches from the pit for any extreme or incorrect movement or wear. Impressive. After that was done, had the front and tag tires trued and balanced on the coach. Went for test drive still had a bit of vibration, so had the drive tires trued and balanced (had to remove them from the axles and do on the machine). Just got back last evening from the 1100 mile return, smooth as a baby's ass ride, and say BRAVO! These folks still take pride in their work, have a clean shop and allow you to pester them and watch their work. Although the guy doing the truing and balance is more of a curmedgeon than I am, and we had to go toe to toe on a few issues, he REALLY knows his stuff and takes extreme pride in getting it right. SO now I have the suspension mods in place (last year), the suspension working as it is supposed to do and have my GT coach almost where I want it...next year I think I will see what 600 HP feels like under the hood....Wanna enjoy having my 52,000 lb (yeah, had it weighed on each axle corner too) GT sports car riding BB...Giddy Up!
