There is only a front end alingment for all year Mustangs, and Cobras except for 99-01 Cobras and 03-04 Cobras. Everything else is solid axle. 4 bolts hold the axle to our body, and they go in and out one way...no adjustments. I would go back there and get money back. A 2 wheel alignment (replacing no parts) should cost no more than 44 dollars.

dude i would LOVE to know where you are getting that price. im sorry, but where i work we charge $100 an hour and we are the CHEAPEST dealer in town. im assuming thats a hook-up price, and not a retail one.

o and everything else is correct, although you can measure for pinion angle and adjust if the car has adjustable control arms. also a proper 2 wheel alignment will have the rear sensors attached because you align the front based off the rear.

If you get an alignment, just pay for the lifetime alignment. I got one at the local Firestone dealer and it has more than paid for itself already. I can pull up anytime I want and get an alignment... I got one after I got my car, one after I installed lowering springs, one after the header install, etc. And its a 2wheel alignment, as thats all you need (as previously stated).



Its worth it if you are going to mod your car.

Two wheel alignment. How the hell are you meant to align the rear exactly!!

They should always give you your before and after alignment numbers, so ask for those and then get some cash back.

$100 isn't bad any way you look at it.

I only would have saved $10 by demanding a 2wheel instead of a 4wheel, so I'm like whatever. But hey, I learned something new.
