Completely agree since an allignment here is 70 bucks and u could potentially knock him down hundreds due to the fact it just wanders like the post above stated it would only make sense to spend the extea 70 bucks to make it ride nice since thats what sells a vehicle

Congrats though and welcome to the forum
