Outdrive repair: Shop/Mechanic recommendations in Fort Worth area?

[pullin]

I may need a new gimbal bearing on my Alpha 1 outdrive. Typical setup, Mercruiser 5.7L 260, Alpha 1 Gen 1. I'm hearing some slight rumbling in turns and some trim conditions. I want to check engine alignment and (possibly) replace the gimbal bearing without breaking the bank.

Any recommendations on the west side of the DFW area? Not ruling out Dallas, but would prefer to keep the drive as short as possible (boat's on a trailer).

Thanks in advance for suggestions.

OK Thanks Bondo.

Please move to the correct forum, with my apologies for choosing the wrong one. I'm not sure I'm up to the gimbal bearing (although I've learned a lot here regarding other maintenance). I've gotten good advice from the forum on upholstery shops, and would like some for the bearing/alignment places.
