Corner Balancing - Augusta Co?

Post by rshull »

Does anyone know of a shop in or near Augusta Co. that does corner balancing? Or at least has a set of scales?

Thanks,
Ross

I know that this thread is old, but I am also looking for a set of scales. I know of a place I can get corner weighted in Concord, NC but I'd really like some place closer if its available.

I have scales and I'm in Verona. Are you guys just looking to put the car on the scales or to have someone set the cross weights?

I am looking to do cross weights, but can do the grunt-work myself. Do you have a setup tall enough to allow you to reach the front adjusters under the Z?

No, that's the problem. All I have is the scale pads with no platforms and some crude ramps. You pretty much have to jack the car up, adjust, drop it, drive around to settle it...then put it back on the scales.

Dad had his car corner balanced at JL Fabrication in Harrisonburg. Obviously its not free, but it is another option. I have worked with Jamie on furniture fabrication in the past and I was very pleased with his service.

Our scales will be in lynchburg on the 21st, we will corner balance all of our cars, but then we will be able to balance anyone's in the club for pretty cheap. It is possible that we can bring them to the events, I know if kinda hard to set them up on some sites.
