Hi again to all WA folks!
 
Can anyone recommend a good place to get a wheel alignment done in Perth, preferably NOR (Osb Pk, Wangara, Malaga etc)?
 
I'm in the process of completely redoing the front-end and installing adjustable TCAs.
 
Any tips would be great.
 
Cheers

Wilkinson Suspension in Bayswater seems to be well regarded, although I haven't used them yet myself.  I did walk in one day to discuss my car and said "I have an old Ford Escort" to which the guy immediately responded with "I'm sorry".  I don't think he was kidding either!

Have good experience with Wilkinsons, they made sure it was right with test drives etc.  $66 from memory and that included some new steering rack bushes supplied and installed.
 
Didn't get any lip either.

Didn't get any lip either.  

Yeah, that cheeky bugger!

Alright! Looks like I will be giving them a call then!
 
I will mention that I've got an old escort with new suspension and see how they like it.
 
Keep you posted.
 
Thanks guys

I've always used Glides in Newcastle St. (Only just NOR)
 
They have my business because they always check out the whole front end before attempting and alignment.
They'll give you a yell if anything is not spot on and needs attention before commencing work.
 
A group of old boys who are used to working on our old cars.
 

 
Just another option if you want to look further afield than Wilkinsons.
Any specialist supension/alignment group is going to be a significant step up from the services offered by your average tyre shop.

Good to have another recommendation.  Maybe those old boys appreciate fine automobiles like ours too, and won't give any lip!

Just got my wheel alignment done by Glide Automotive on Newcastle street today.
 
Brian behind the counter showed great patience with me as I ran him through my suspension setup (adjustable TCAs, modified inner wing to take bigger strut tops) and woes I've had. They did a stirling job of the alignment itself and took there time to discuss the current state of my suspension and things Im looking at doing in the future.
 
Having gone to both Glide and Wilkinsons, I can honestly say that the 'old boy' touch makes a difference!!! I think they were secretly happy to see an escort come in the doors actually.
 
Just my 2 cents!

Good Stuff Mate,
 
Always great to meet someone who will take an interest in your project and give it the respect it deserves.
 
Cheers
