Here's a lotta conversation on 04-06 suspension jigs from the past post:

DIY Rear Cradle Alignment

Alright guys I have not spent to much time looking at the rear cradle in my GTO but I think it is absurd to have to pay $450 for rear cradle alignment especially when 90% of places do not have the correct jig. My understanding is that there is a JIG that mounts to the rear end and then you need...

We’re you interested in selling them?

If I did they wouldn't be cheap.

Update: I'm having a fabshop near me do my subframe box mod and mentioned the cradle alignment tool in jest. We're going to try and work together to duplicate it and get an actual, precise tool for everyone!

I'm not sure when or how much yet, but I figured I'd share with you folks.

Does anybody have a front cradle alignment they'd sell or let us borrow once we get this one done?

Now, don't go teasing us and then fall off the face of the earth...

What he said^^^
Please share the info when it's ready. I'd more than likely pick one up.

 

[BertsGTO]

I'd definitely be in for one or both

 

[GGGGOAT]

Count me in as well!

 

[Evarto]

Going to pick up the finished subframe and drop off the alignment tool today. I'll keep you folks posted.

I'm going to try and use the new tool on my personal car to verify that it's precise before we start making them for real. It's going to take time, but we don't want to sell some inaccurate junk!

 

[BertsGTO]

Any news on this?

 

[Evarto]

Any news on this?

He's got the tool and is taking measurements/making a jig. My car is all apart and he's got a business to run so I don't anticipate hearing anything before the new year.

 

[Evarto]

Small Update:

GeForce finally decided to invoice me for solid subframe bushings so that's one less thing to wait for. Gotta get my diff rebuilt then I'll be ready to throw everything back in, align, and see if my fabrication guy has a jig mocked up and/or any tools made.

Still looking for a front cradle tool!

Sweet! Been keeping an eye out for Duckman to say he got his back. Good to have options.

Maybes there's hope for a repop fast rack after all!!!!

Maybes there's hope for a repop fast rack after all!!!!

Would be cool but I've read the stories. No one wants to make anything for these cars including GM.

Mavman carries front tools now as well btw

Pontiac 2004-2006 GTO Front Cradle Alignment Tool

The Front Cradle Alignment Tool for the 2004-2006 Pontiac GTO has been non-existent until now. As the rear of the Pontiac GTOs are often known for being slightly off the fronts cradle is no different. Have you ever taken your GTO to the Alignment shop and it still weaves one way or the other...
