stiv2k Posted July 21, 2007 Report Posted July 21, 2007 Hi everyone...my last set of tires worn out rather quickly because after several months i finally noticed the steering rack bolts were loose and the rack was rattling back and forth ruining the tires. Today, i picked up 4 goodyear integrity's at sam's club (yeah the cheapest ones they had I'm grime like that :/) the thing is I don't have much money and I want to know if i absolutely need to also spend the $75 to re-align my wheels? The last time I had an alignment was about a year ago when I got the last pair of tires and since then the car seems to drive fairly straight (with a tiny pull to the right but I think that's road slant). What do you guys think? Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted July 21, 2007 Report Posted July 21, 2007 if your alignment was fine before, you dont need one now. Just 4 mounted and balanced tires.... Quote
5speedz34 Posted July 21, 2007 Report Posted July 21, 2007 IMO, $75 is cheaper than tires down the road. Most places around here will check the alignment before charging you. Michigan roads sucks, so I recommend getting alignment once a year around here. Quote
1990lumina Posted July 21, 2007 Report Posted July 21, 2007 Did you ever have everything aligned once you fixed your steering rack, etc?? I'd recommend getting it aligned just for piece of mind. IIRC alignments don't cost $75 around here..and that's up in Canada too..shop around - find a reputable place that does good work and won't stick it to ya in the process. I use a local autobody shop to be honest..$50 even (CDN) Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted July 22, 2007 Report Posted July 22, 2007 shit I wish my alignment was that cheap... 4wheel alignment cost me $129.xx Quote
mfewtrail Posted July 22, 2007 Report Posted July 22, 2007 shit I wish my alignment was that cheap... 4wheel alignment cost me $129.xx Damn, where do you get them done at, a dealership? Around here $50-65 is the usual price. Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted July 22, 2007 Report Posted July 22, 2007 Yeah I went to the olds dealer to have it done. Its the only olds dealer around here, and they do great work so I cant complain tooo much. I mean this was the same dealer that installed my springs and lower spring seats for $180... Quote
