Huh? Just go get your alignment done and rotate your tires every 7500 miles, it won't throw off your alignment.

If you tread is not the same on both sides the car may pull to a side BUT it will not mean that the alignment is off. It only means that your tires are crap! lol

The tie rods are what they adjust when they do an alignment. If you know about cars do it yourself, but 130 is a GREAT deal to get it done!!! That parts usually cost that much!


$130 is a little too much, my mechanic is going to teach me how 2 do it and install it for me for $60

if it's $130 for labor and parts, that is a great deal. The parts alone are 60-70 bucks. For someone that doesn't have a teacher at their disposal and doesn't know how to do it themselves that's worth it. I did it myself but, I know what I'm doing.

Oh, you should wait until you put the new rims on before you get the alignment though. This is becuase when you change the wheels over you'll probably mess the alignment in doing so. So put on the new wheels and get the alignment done.

Soounds good. I thought that you were someone replying to the post saying that 130 was a bad price. Yeah, if you can get it done for 60 jump on it! That's an AMAZING price!

Well, I got 'em from Fleet Farm (lol). They were $180. They are made by TYC and they are the "fast and furious" edition. You can get them on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TYC-9...spagenameZWD1V
I was thinking about selling mine and switching back to my stock tails. Would you be interested in mine?
