Went to sears to get an alignment, but they told me that they cannot do it and I have to have the stealership do it. Any truth behind this?

Maybe their machine can't do it because the size of your rims. I took mine to a shop and he couldn't do it cause I have 20s.

Ok, so after a little interrogation and research I figured out what the problem is. I need the engine cradle shifted. It pulls to the left. Has anyone done this before?

Yeah, I've done PLENTY of cradle shifts. BUT our cars DO require a cross camber and cross caster that do not match. To compensate for road crown, there was a big problem when Magnums, Chargers & 300's first came out, so they changed the specs. But it's not that bad to do either, it's pretty much just removing the belly pan, and from there it's just 4 bolts to shift it. There is only a limited amout of movement though with the cradle shift.

Did they at least give you a print out of the specs where the car is at now??

Thank you for the info Adam. They did not give me a printout of what the car is at right now, but since one of my friends works there, I can get one. Where can I take my car to get this fixed? Also, do you know what I should be expecting to dish out for this?

I could do it for you, AND I actually work in Deerfield, so it's not that far from you ; )

We are having a car show day at the shop, here's the link, and a link to the shop, as well as the info on the show.
