I'm living this nightmare right now. I knew it was off but kept "meaning to get around to it," but didn't for way too long. Now my front driver's side is going to be spending quite a long time on the bench in my tire rotation rotation while the other four try to catch up.

The truth and this is the reason I'm replacing mine and painting the new parts.

I had some alignment issues and decided since i wheel it and plan on slowly upgrading steering and control arms. I found a coupon for firestone and got a lifetime alignment for $190. It is kind of a lot up front but they said i could bring it in everyday if i needed too. In the long run i may only use it 3-4 times but it will save money if i do.

A 2 wheel (front end) alignment should not be more than $60-$70.
It's worth it.

That is actually not bad.... Especially if it includes doing caster and other things to dial in a fully adj suspension.
