need an alignment shop to align my wifes 92 EG 4 door, has skunk 2 "2.5" lowering springs and shocks on it, took it to a guy in oakwood and the printout off his rack states that the front left is -4 and right is -2.3, left is bad due to a ball joint that i have, just needs put in, he is claiming that he can't fix it, i should not have lowered it, it's going to scrape, blah blah blah...has 15x7's with 205/50/15's, i dont want it perfect, -1.5 would be great on the front and the back is good where it sits, just need the toe and camber taken care of in the front.

well looks like i have an array of choices here, have not heard anything bad about either one yet, if arrow tire and alignment in gainesville does not work out i will go to the closest one i guess.

Have you tried Meineke off Friendship road? They did my car awhile back, hell the guy even got out the 2x6s to extend the ramping more to get my car on the rack

While camber can play a roll in causing a pull, caster is usually the biggest cause of a pull. Camber pulls to the side that is more positive if they arent equal so im going to guess there is another cause for your pull. Do you have a camber kit?

just the ball joint type and yes it pulls to the right which is the more positive side
