I would think any reputable shop could do the alingment as long as they have a good machine. The data for doing the alignment is usually in there data base no guess work involved.

You may already know this, but I just want to point out that NSX tend to burn out the inside of the front tires which may make you think that you need alignment.

oh, didn't know that, thank you for your info. but i need alignment because i have viberation when speed over 60mph, and the previous owner has told me i need to check the wheel balance.

Alignments dont last very long on NYC roads anyway.

Alignment and wheel/tire balancing are two different things.

Sounds like you need your wheels/tires balanced, not an alignment. Any competent mechanic (including independents) can balance NSX wheels and tires. Just make sure you point out the jacking points along the side of the NSX to them, and that they use those to lift or jack up the car.

KingkongNSX · 24 May 2006

Sounds like tires balance is needed. If you have alignment issues, the car would tend to either pull left or right on a smooth road.

the car is tend to pull right alittle bit as i noticed, not so sure since the steering is pretty tight, have to check it out again tomorrow, i think westside highway should be smooth enough for testing:biggrin:

You mean the west side raceway ?

I think the only smooth portion is between 54th and 72nd
