I think I remember a thread last year on front-end alignment which
mentioned a company which offered technically advanced alignment which
exceeded all others.

I have not been able to find such a thread in the archive.

Does anyone have such info to relay?

Perhaps they were referring to the alignment machine made by Hunter.

If you have a Jack Williams tire center nearby get them to do the
alignment.  I used their shop for an alignment (and tires).  What a
difference and they provided a computer printout that showed which
wheels needed to be lined-up.  All for a reasonable cost IMO.

I had mine done at Les Schwab, same deal. They provided a printout of
the before and after data, with the specs for comparison.  Being a
technical type, I like seeing what was wrong and how well it came out
compared to specs.

And the acid test- it drove great afterwards.  As you said, the price
was quite reasonable. I used to take it to a place that did good work,
but was expensive.

Unfortunately, in the Dallas area, we don't have the two above mentioned
shops.

I used Sears last time, but not sure I really trust them.
