it is 56000 mile now.
I was searching about this yesterday i found out that the alignment resluts were not different at all except front toe.
and i found out that toe is adjustable by tie rod.
1.However, the mechanic told me that he could not move it at all because it was bent.
(then how could he change toe degrees at the front toe?!)
2.Also, left rear toe is out of spec, and i asked why it did not change after test. what he said was, he could not change it before changing the front parts.
Isn't each wheel measured seperately?
3.And I suggested changing it to new coilovers if i have to spend money anyway and he said it will be so complicated... bla... bla...
(If i need new struts.... what is wrong with to get new coilovers?!)
4.last, i found out the price of parts on e-bay.
struts are $85 each for front and tie rods are $25 each.
They estimated it would cost $450 for struts and $230 for tir rods......
If I bring parts, they estimates 3 labor hour. $80/hour = $240
so,
struts $450 + tie rods $230 = $680 total if i let them do it.
$680- labor hour $240 = $440 for parts they charge me.....?!
if i buy parts it will cost roughly $220 -$300...... $220-$300 : $440 ?
I do not really believe them...
are my theories correct or not?
