Well the car was $6000 for a 50,000 mileage car. Straight body and frame, other than the bent suspension components. Shouldn’t be a huge problem to fix I was just a bit shocked that when I replaced the rear lower control arm that I didn’t know it would affect the steering wheel orientation as it corrected prior to the installation. On a slight update, I adjusted the camber on the rear arms to the middle setting and the car tracks much better and is actually drive able to the alignment shop. |

You don't need a laser rack to get a dead perfect alignment.
A laser rack is so any oil change monkey to align a car while the pan is draining. |

I'm glad I do my own right now, but the car has been in process for over a week. Think the dust from the car made me feel like crap. Not that I'll be driving any time soon anyway... It always takes me hours to corner balance and align. I don't recommend it. C

I would wear my wife panties and do dishes before spending hours in the garage trying to do an alignment with string and a tape measure. Sounds like a job that requires a lot of crystal meth.

Ha. I read the first bit of my comment and thought the same thing. Absolutely right.
