Re: [MBZ] Discount Tire
I have no idea just what all they did. Probably would not take the ED there. Simple laser alignment from what I saw. They futzed with it for a while then told me the bushings were all shot, if I got that fixed they would redo the work for free. I did not have the full set of bushings and other stuff, so kept it with the new tie rods. It has been great for two years so far, and compared to before I am really happy. Stays straight ahead instead of wandering like a drunk. clay On 7 Nov 2007, at 18:09, Alex Chamberlain wrote: On Nov 7, 2007 4:18 PM, Redghost [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Les and his boys did the alignment for Gump.

Les and his boys did the alignment for Gump. Worth the few dollars just to get her to stop drifting.
