Yeah, how far off were ya? lol

Considering the cost of good tires and how fast they can go bad, a good alignment is a drop in the bucket.

Final alignment.

Not terrible. Got the caster near dead nuts, but toe in left and right was off a bit. I am glad I took it there, however, as they also went over every nut and bolt I installed, always good to have a second set of eyeballs. Now to put some miles on, come back, re-torque all hardware, and go enjoy it a bit!

There is still more to come...I need to re-install the front DS, and I'll be removing the seats from my niece's Tiburon and putting those in...probably within the next week or so. Then I'm a-gonna take a break from wrenching for a bit...LOL

Good stuff. Sounds like when I did my lift, only a couple degrees off on toe. Except they didn't go over each bolt... 800 KM later I found one of my 21 MM wrenches stuck to the frame side of an LCA...

Front drive shaft is good. Did you find any issues with it? I can't rememer anymore. Or scroll up. Lol
