especially when he takes a bite of it before giving it to you

if it has been 2 years i would get it checked. you should have your alignment checked every 6 months

too bad that alignments are so overpriced. :-/

you should get the alignment checked. it MAY not be out. you can get it checked for free and ask for a print out then PM me a copy of it. i'll let you know if you really need one or not. dont do it just b/c they say it is out. a lot of techs will do an alignment even if it isnt very far out.

6 months..wow...time for mine.

i always thought it was all 4 wheels...

6 months? thats kinda soon. alignments are on an 'as needed' basis. i havent had one on mine in just about 3 years and it was still tracking great, until i put on the rack bushings. plus, im willing to bet a large sum of money that if a shop spends the time to put her car on the alignment machine, set up the machine, slap on the heads, and measure caster, theyre going to tell her she needs an alignment. especially is its a female customer. it sucks, but the industry is very crooked.

to the original poster: you shouldnt need an alignment unless your steering wheel is crooked, your tires have been wearing badly in the past, or your car doesnt drive straight down the highway in the middle lane for 6-8 seconds after you take your hands off. thats my test. if it passes, i wont do an alignment on the car, and i'll tell the customer to stop worrying.

As long as your tires are wearing correctly and the car tracks straight then you don't need a alignment.
