get an alignment when you're done.

You got it in the bag man, go to it!

You don't need an alignment from just the TC rods, although if you're doing the lower control arms n ball joints then yes.

Lurking is a good thing. High post counts don't mean experience or knowledge. It just means either 1. you got alot to say 2. post whore or 3. you're a moderator that has some obligation to keep their respective boards on track and it takes a few more posts to get them back on track... Kudos to your lurking. Kudos.

[TougeMS13]

Wheel out of balance? Ball joint? Too much coffee?
