Unless the only camber plate option is weld-in...then it gets a little specialized. If they are bolt-in, then it's definitely well in the DIY wheelhouse.

@ OP: That's a really clean looking 'rolla. I've nearly bought a few of those from time to time, lol.

Thank you for the compliment. It's a real bast to drive for sure. I probably will tackle the coilovers myself (camber plates I have are bolt on) I suppose. The fender rolling was the intimidating part still need some help with that one.

The front end alignment done on my GLE by Firestone in Beaden sucks big time.

Mike's body shop in midtown/Harriman. If you live down here in Roane County this is the best place to buy tires and have alignments done around. I have bought my last 7 sets of tires( for 4 different vehicles) from them and have had alignments done.

If you are in South Knox/Seymour area I can help you with alignments. Reasonable prices and you tell me your spec and we can get it as close to there as your setup allows.

Can anyone recommend a machine shop? Got an axle stuck in a hub and need it pressed out. 10 ton press has failed to break it free thus far.

I know a place that can probably get it out but what you get back will probably be junk.

Well that's not super helpful now is it. :P If I have to replace the trailing arm then so be it, but I'd like to try to save it. The axle is toast already so thats not a concern.

They would likely damage the hub, and you would have to get it off the car. :?

So not to toot my own horn, but we just got the Latest and Greatest Hunter Alignment Machine/Lift. So we can get you in and set up to what spec you want. Also it sits nice and low so won't trash your front end.

Doug at Firestone in Maryville near Midland Shopping Center is the best, he does lowered/slammed&cambered cars as well! Great guy. I always hear great reviews of his touch. My car has a bent control arm and yet he's still got almost all the toe out of it. He's very precise and "does everyones alignments" in town from what i hear. Oh, and you can't go wrong with the "Lifetime Alignments" from there. $170 and after 2-3 alignments it pays for itself! You can go as much as you want for free. I get one every oil change now :)

Just FYI, neither EAG nor Euro 129 will roll fenders anymore. I'm still looking.

I was able to rent a fender roller from:

All American Tire & Wheel
5701 N Broadway St
Knoxville, TN 37918

This was probably 3 months ago. I don't know how much they would charge to do it.
