So much so I was referred to as a 12 year old 14 maybe but 12. This person that made that remark, if you don't have anything nice to say everyone knows the rest, well almost everybody, his list of accomplishments is BMW alignment tech. So maybe my last post does not reflect this but I have been working on cars longer than he has maybe been alive no proof just a guess. Alignment talk in my opinion, If you brought your 2015 camry in for 4 new tires they where kept inflated and rotated at the correct times there now lets say have 80000 miles on them Steering straight no vibrations 4 tires all bald you need new ones but they wore out even and perfect why would you mess that up, and they would, every time any one goes to almost any tire shop even for just one tire they almost insist you get a 2 or 4 wheel alignment ? and will charge you for it .Ever notice they always need some kind of adj. just a little something to charge you for. Even If it was free alignment, Its a rare time after your alignment that you here your car is perfect you need nothing no charge. Ok here' a short one. Lexus 1995 300 SC 180.000miles had worn out outer tie rod end it was the OEM part so I bought the same OEM part from Lexus did some measuring yes to the thousand of a inch. they where the same, counted the threads old and new when screwed in and out. The only thing that really wears on that part is the ball and socket put the new one in back just like new and that car was never on a alignment machine that tire still wearing fine when I sold it at 260,000 miles 300sc Manual trans. 2JZ rare but no turbo. Yes there plenty of times you do need a alignment Accident, aftermarket parts, if you hit and bent something adj. compensation for bent part etc. I have no idea how much you persons know about cars, I do know it takes a lot more time to explain every little thing, I am new to this cut me a little slack It was my fault I acted like everybody here was a mechanic. Is that better. I was a diesel mech. not a english major. I do not use that preview button, maybe I should start, If anyone needs gear head terminology I am here for you I like to consider my self a automotive enthusiast little more class,
