      Watch them align it, people half ass alignments and only put it in the green. Make sure it's exact, be picky, it's you car you want it dead perfect. If they say it's not possible, you shouldn't be there in the first place. I check mines every two weeks because I'm maxed out on the coilover swap and I know some impacts throw it off. I do all my own alignments, I work on cars. Take almost an hour just to get on the rack itself lol Name:  IMG_1322.jpg

      Thanks for your help and guidance withthis fellas.
      I took my car to get aligned and guess what was discovered? The technician discovered a lot of play when he moved the front wheels.
      As a result, they are recommending that inner and outer tie rods be replaced. (estimate $423.00) I declined and have already ordered the parts from RockAuto.
      Any idea why they would have failed so prematurely? I changed these 37k miles ago.
      I have never changed the wheel bearings, (car now has 158,720 miles) I never been too eager to attempt a wheel bearing repair, It seems everyone who has attempted this repair has had a bear of a time. Also, going around town asking who willbe willing to use their hydraulic press to pop them in/out is not very appealing. A few years ago, (before I discovered this forum,) I went around asking who would be willing to do my water pump (with my own parts) and most shops looked at me as if I were crazy. Also, I don’t know what all the symptoms are. I certainly do not hear any grinding or whining coming from the front end. Do you all think the wheel bearings should be changed?

      Wheel bearing would be a up and down play in the wheel inner and outer would be side to side. Wheel bearings would be a roaring noise when driving. And a camber like wear in the tires
