Alignment how to...
#4
Unfortunately it's one of those things that's hard to get perfect yourself, and is too much of a pain it the ***. All an alignment place has to do is put it on the rack and let the computer tell them how to adjust it. Prolly just wanna fork over the cash and pay for someone to do it. Get a one year plan or something from NTB for like 100 bucks. It's worth it to me cause I'm always screwin with the suspension, or hitting one of the millions of potholes around here and needing to get it aligned.

i get an alignement for $49, you could measure and do it once yourself just to learn. I think it's a good idea to know how, but I'd would rather pay someone because without a drive on lift, it'll be pretty hard especially if your car is lowered

I never needed an alignment for some reason. After installing struts I drove it and the steering wheel stayed centered even at high speeds. Think I am on the second set of tires and there is no cupping or inside or outside wear. I am not cheap because I didn't get it done. Just wasn't needed.
You think I would continue to drive a car and buy new tires if it needed an alignment?
I didn't do any tape measuring or anything when I changed the struts either. I was expecting to get an alignment but everything went back exactly as before. Never needed an alignment for hitting bumps or anything that could cause it to misalign.
Same thing with my Pathfinder now that I think of it. Never had an alignment on it either and it's been about the same miles and changed the shocks about the same time.
