For alignment the front wheels need to be kept apart with a bar set at
100 NM . and only then the toe- in is set correctly .
This is the suspension under running conditon stress.
few shops would do that
mak
. This way I will not have to worry about the
front end for another 50-60k miles, until it needs ball joints. Most shops
would never hear of doing this as that parts were not all bad yet.
I have project cars I enjoy working on, and then I have the daily drivers
which I hate to work on. Thus I want the daily drivers all fixed and not
constantly in need of repair.

The W126 requires some special alignment machine, or so I have been told.
The problem is I only know of one indy in the area that does alignments
and
you could not pay me to take my car to them. Thus I was hoping someone
knew
of another shop.

Tires:
Probably any place other than the dealership which actually uses a torque
wrench.
Alignment:
I'm thinking dealer or an indy alignment shop that REALLY knows MBZ.
