Getting an alignment done. It makes me cringe a little to see someone else work on my XJ.

I have and its pretty damn close but I just bought new tires and I'd like it to be spot on because the old tires I had on there were wearing funny after my driveway alignment. Plus I lifted it since then.

$74 after tax, that's with a $10 coupon. Indy Tire, here by me, I just bought my tires from them and they didn't try to sell me anything else so I figured they're decent.

My damn steering wheel better be centered though. I'll raise hell if they try to tell me that ain't part of an alignment.

Oh, and I got my speedo gear in, did a flush and fill on the coolant, put new NGK plugs in and aimed my headlights better.
Awesome. Thanks. Im probably gonna run 3 inches front and back pretty soon

Yes the steering wheel is apart of it. The second they start adjusting stuff, the steering Will be off. Make sure you don't get a clock spring CEL lol jk.

I've noticed that ever when jamming the steering wheel center, it still needs slight playing with after

A good 4-wheel alignment without a rack is kind of difficult lol. You can do a decent front-end alignment with some angle finders and a lot of patience but how much is your time worth? There's more to a good alignment than toe-in.
