It eliminated about 95% of the shimmy. Look into it.

Check out the link below for some good info on the hub centric rings!

It was front and rear. Usually solid axles do not need alignment, mine was out after the lowering......the lengths of the LCA's, I fine tuned the panhard myself.

It actually costed more than I was quoted. I didn't install my camber bolts, just the Steeda upper strut mount. I told them to use the cam bolts if needed, and the strut mount didn't quite have enough adjustment.......so I was charged the labor to install the cam bolts. They did pretty much everything I asked though. Lock-tite on all the jam nuts, put a reference mark/line on the jam nuts and rods on all the adjustable parts, checked my pinion angle, and of course aligned the car to near perfection......with a printout. The cost was a little steep, but I was very pleased with the service I got. They even checked to make sure there was no loose nuts and bolts, which I didn't ask of them........but I'm glad they did because I guess I forgot to tighten (or didn't tighten enough) some of the lug nuts. How many truly honest shops are around? Not many, but I'm glad I found one. Only flaw with them, they pretty much only do alignments.
