i just changed my tires......the whole set. cuz i ran over a nail on my rear left and staples on my front right
so i didnt want all should do. i got alignment with my new tires. only to come to the point from the lead mechanic that they cant get within factory specs. more people say you dont need those alignment kits to get factory specs within a certain drop range. well i have teins on new shocks. i thought i didnt need them.......but now i do. so this is just a heads up for all you guys. get the alignment kit and get your alignment done and check your tires. be safe be easy LIVE ALOHA i still cant believe im still alive also. the mech. also pointed out that my axle nut was loose and can be tightened or loosen'd by hand sorry i dont have pics and stuff. wasnt prepared.........$$ wise and physically when i got this done. oh yeah now that i have a sort of fixed alignment and new tires i can grip the road way better. AND DONT USE SPACERS!!!! i took my 5mm off because the contact point of the rim and hub wasnt good. something about the wheel easing its way off the lug bolts and slowly moving the lug nuts off. -------------------- I don't normally drive fast, but when I do its on a curvy section of this island
