How come no one told me there was such a thing as lifetime Alignment? Just got of the phone with the Firestone in MTV and they are happy to do custom alignment on the EXOTIC lifetime. Regular was $130 something and the exotic is $209. Still a good deal if you ask me.

Update.


Thanks everyone for the great suggestions!

I washed off the tires/wheel well areas before taking it in and noticed what looked like a fair amount of negative camber.


Once they got it up in the air, they confirmed my suspicion of a bent strut. They even let me go over and inspect it while it was in the air.

They didnt even try to get it back into spec once they saw the bent strut.

I drove it all the way home because there was next to no drifting or noises.

I am going to go ahead and do the bearing while I am in there replacing the strut and/or knuckle.


I will get a picture up tonight hopefully.
