Default before I get a wheel alignment...

is there anything else I could/should replace?

all the front bushes have been replaced.

will the top strut bearing plate thingo effect alignment?

I guess I should replace the springs, if I'm planning on doing that in the future

haha, anything else?

thanks!

check the lower ball joint for movement, usually needs two people to check it, one to look at the joint and one to lift the wheel up and down.

jack the car up so the wheel is just off the ground, get a lever bar under the tyre and lift the wheel up and down while the other person watches for movement in the joint

because most suspension joints pick on them for causing camber problems when they have movement and they will usually tell you they are rooted when they arent just so they can make some money so it pays to see if they are being honest by checking it yourself first

well, Pedders didn't say the ball joints were worn when they told me everything else was, which it wasn't, so maybe they are worn...

haha



just went and got new springs all around, and new rear shocks.
