I just installed the Ingalls 594 adjustable ball joint sleeves to gain more caster and wanted a front end alignment done with the new parts. The local place didn't have the tools and refused to work on it. Any recommendations on (a) an RV experienced shop in NW Washington and (b) one that has experience and tools for adjusting these shims? I live in Bellingham but can drive to Seattle area for the work.

I usually go to Les Schwab, but that's for my truck, not a motor home.

Don't go to Les Schwab for anything. Someone here will come up with an independant shop for you.

The Marysville Les Schwab was able to do MH and trucks.I don't know why a poster from Florida would condemn Les Schwab?There is also a shop in Mt. Vernon. It is on Riverside Drive south of College Way. They do work on frames and alignments. They are able to do heavy truck straight I-beam axles. (very pricey)

I used the Les Schwab in Moses Lake WA for two motor homes. They were a P-30 & E-450 great work.

I used Les Schwab in Portland for my E350 Class C - they did nice job.

Go to "Motor Trucks" in Mt. Vernon. they are off the Anderson Street exit. They are the best in Wa. for this stuff.

Do not use Freightlinner.. We lost every thing in our bays the last time we were there. owners response? " well there is nothing we can do about that"

When you must leave your coach at "MotorTrucks" it will be in lock down. with a 24/7 workers watching.

Les Schwab does all my work, they are the best in our area and service is superb; odd why a post from Florida was so negative. (Troll?)

Les Schwab is where I went initially. The technician was very nice but admitted that they usually refuse to work on the "double cam" inserts as he called them, as they don't have the correct tools to make the adjustments. I offered to buy a set of tools but they said they couldn't help me. They did get the initial reading and reset my toe-in, all no charge.

Weird, it doesn't take any special tools to adjust the bushings. I did mine in my driveway.
