Default Got my alignment done!
Yup, Went to Berts Alignment down across Phillips Mercedes on Va Bch BLVD. They did one hell of a job but it was kinda pricey. $100. awesome job tho.

BEFORE SPECS:
front:

left/ right

camber: -1 deg / -1 deg
Caster: 2.75+ / 3.75+
Toe: .75" out / .75" out

rear:

camber: -1.5 deg / -.75 deg
Toe: 1/8" IN / 1/8" OUT

AFTER:

all back to factory specs: the front and rear have no toe and the front camber is set to .75 deg and rear set to .5" My car no longer veers to the right anymore yay!


lastly, no more of this!

did they heat up and bend your control arms for you? $100 is way too much for an allignment.

Exactly! Why pay $100 for someone to bend a perfectly fine suspension component? lol

100 is alot. I was thinking about going there until my friend said that they had to bend something in your suspension to get it back to factory alignment. My car has an adjustable alignment in the back. Anyone know if they might have to bend my suspension?
