Anyone know of an alignment shop that won't charge me anything just to take a look at my steering? I need an alignment, but if it turns out the car needs new tie rods, ball joints, or whatever, I would want to replace the parts myself and then get it aligned afterwards. I can probably figure out if anything needs replacing by myself, it'd just be a lot easier to have someone who knows what to look for check it out...

I have a feeling I at least need tie rods b/c my toe is way off on both tires and I have a wander at freeway speeds... not sure if it's inners or outers though.

I've always had good luck with Les Schwabs, on a couple of ocasions I've taken cars down to have the alignment checked and they said it didn't need anything but to have the tires balanced.

The best shop I've found is Dabney's Wheel Alignment in Vancouver. Very good with all the basics and more. Do lowering and suspension mods. A lot of the local circle track and drag racers go there for race setups. Easy to get to from Portland on I-5. 1013 West 8th St. 360-694-5222.
