Default Alignment help!

Hey guys, I tried to get my alignment done today but everybody locally told me that my car was to low. I know some of you are sitting pretty low, where do you go for alignments? I need to find somewhere in Tucson.

All you have to do is drive down the 10 about 75 mph. Take your steering wheel off readjust it til the car is going straight with the wheel. Then tighten down and Poof. Its aligned.

























Do not try in heavy traffic or in police convoys. IM not responsible for any such person that takes this advice seriously

What's the cost for an alignment at Bullitt? Mine probably needs one after having to endure the roads on the way here from Georgia. Plus I never got it aligned after lowering it.

Eddie is the only guy that does mine. He was the only person to touch the tC and never had a single problem with the car being slammed.

I just had my over at Network today on 67th & Bethany Home. Nice guys. Drove Butters on the rack, threw all their gizmos on my wheels and finds out Butters is straight as an arrow


Cost? ZERO!

Thanks to the guys at Network, they wouldn't even take a $20 spot for their time.

They def have my business from here on out.

I go to Firestone auto. They have like 2,000 store nationaly and offer a lifetime alinment for 170$ which pays for it self on the second visit. no hidden fine print. you can get an alignment at any of their stores as long as you own the car. My is 1.5 lowered not quite as low as everyon elses. But most of them also have pull out ramps to lessen the incline. good luck. I payed for two alignments at different shops then say F it and found these guys cause of the lifetime warenty on alignment.. Good luck again
