    It was $190 after taxes. Unlimited for the life of vehicle at any Firestone. I figured it would pay for itself with as often as I'd like to get it aligned.

    I was gonna ask about that. I told them I wanted as much caster possible but I don't think it got back to the tech.

    You really gotta work with the tech, and find the right one.. They normally don't touch the uppers, and they work harder to get a "toe-and-go" than to get the alignment right.

    This where it pats to KNOW an alignment guy, not just some mook at the fast food shop

    I tried to get my Honda aligned at the Chevy dealer I worked at, was told "there wasn't any adjustment just toe"
    Went to work at a Monro shop and did my own,there is a shit ton of adjustment,just gotta find the right place to move it (not hard if you look) I gained 2mpg just from alignment ( that's how bad it was out. Yes it was eating tires )

    when all 4 wheels are toed and cambered wrong, it'll have an effect.

    was a '97 Accord wagon, best mileage id gotten prior to that was about 28-29 mpg, after the alignment it would coast seemed like forever.

    it never pulled, but it ate the inside of the tires, 60k Michelins lasted about 35-38k even with rotation. $700 set of tires gone in 2.5 years.

    put BFG Touring TA's on it after the alignment, it was like a new car.

    Uhaul 6x12 to move my daughter to her first apartment.
    Drove great, wouldn't hesitate to get another one.
    You guys with aftermarket rear bumpers, are you able to get Uhaul to rent you a trailer ? I'd miss being able to do this.
