    Question Front end Alignment

    Does the VX require rear wheel alignment like front or just front only. Notice inside where on driver's front. Any recos and tips on alignment or experiences with alignments.

    Interesting thing is Tone says you can get a lifetime alignment at Firestone for $100. Thats an awesome deal to me. But there is not a Firestone around me I dont think.

    Someone asked if we should be doing 4 wheel or 2 wheel alignments.

    What do you do?

    you can certainly have the thrust alignment checked but I don't think there is any adjustment on the rear. If I can get off work early enough to talk to the shop that did my alignment, I'll let you know.

    I just called them. They indicated that there are no adjustments on the rear.

    The only caution that I can give you is that someone here (can't remember who) adjusted the torsion bars for front end lift. When they took it in for alignment, they readjusted the torsion bars back to factory.

    I had very good luck with the mom & pop shop down the street from me. They specialize in front end work. I recommend you find such a place near you if possible. The 'quantity' type establishments just aren't set up to provide the level of satisfaction you seem to be looking for. IMHO.
