Title: Front End Alignment—Florida
Post by: AllenSteveandMary on June 25, 2021, 07:39:18 pm
Has anyone had a front  end alignment done on their motor home in the Tampa Bay Florida Area?  This would be for our 1993 Grand Villa.

There is a place in Orlando JoSams. They are supposed to be very good. I know a lot of people go there.

The only adjustment is toe and ride height .  Ride height affects castor as the trailing arms drop .  I do all of mine , but my bus does not fit on my pad.  Any truck service can check toe and front end wear. 
 I can check the same  at my shop in the parking lot next door and adjust the toe .  I am just north of Tampa  on RT 41 ,

Thank you,
We were thinking it needed front end alignment because we just had new u joints put on and also the steering wheel isn't quite centered now. Steve thought it was pulling slightly to the right when he drove it home.

I've used  the Tampa Spring location in Lakeland with good results.  They have shops around Tampa

Thank you,
We think we are going to Springs in Tampa because they were recommended by PM Truck Service also who has done work for us.  The only thing is they don't take appointments  and are very busy.  They do work on a first come basis.
