Default Stupid Question

I have a speaker box in my trunk. WELL....On Wednesday of last week I went to have my tires rotated and the Left Rear tire was worn out really badly on the inside.

1. Will the box have an affect on the alignment this bad?
2. When I do another 4-wheel alignment do I take the box out or leave it in so they can make the adjustments for the box being there?

Your help is appreciated. Im pretty mechanically inclined, but when it comes to alignments Im like a monkey doing a math problem.

Well I curbed the car last November and took it to a kinda Ghetto alignment place. They didnt use any type of laser alignment or anything like that. It was all mechanical. I dont know if its my eyes, but the vehicle seems to sit weird sometimes, but I just dont know. BLAH. Ill take a pic and post it maybe.

Im gonna take it to Tempe Honda and have them align it. Hopefully there isnt anything bent or anything under the car. BLAST!

leave it in. if it's always going to be there, it should be there when it's aligned.

Don't take your car to a place that doesn't have computer/laser alignment. Just wondering, how much did the mechanical alignment cost??
