It has been a long route; after 27 years I finally am getting my sport coupe running and on the road. Every thing on this car has been removed, dismantled, restored and reassembled. I now am looking for guidance on getting the front end set up or alligned. I have no special gauges so am looking for either a reliable local allignment shop or some tips for a do-it-yourself procedure. I am in Silverdale WA.
Thanks,
39sport

If your car is a Master DeLuxe with coil spring front suspension any good front end man should understand how to align it with the help of a shop manual. Some Mercedes of the recent past has the same caster and camber adjustments as did the 1039-54 Chevrolets. I woul stay away from the usual tires stores and dealers and find a shop the specializes in front end work.

It is a coil spring. I will find a good front end specialist. Thanks for the info!
