Default 612 dolar alignment

well i went in for an alignment today and yeah it ended up costing $612.06 Turns out a little more than the alignment was out of wack. I had bent Tirods a wheelbearing that was ready to fall out and my tire was almost ready to fall off. The break assembly fell apart and tore the crap out of my rotor and to top everything off this was all on the right side. My rubber boot is split wide open on the left side and my axel is dry and ready to go out AGAIN.

Nothing like a $100 day turning into a $612 day. Hope tomorrow will be better.

Atleast its money well spent.

617$ or 70mph on thehighway wheel fall off, and flip truck turns into a super loss and costs 10x as much.

Holy Crap, you didn't feel that any of this was wrong. I would think, with a grenaded right side like that it would feel alot worse than an alignment issue. I'm not trying to be an ***, I am just curious.

Kind of my first thoughts as well. That thing should have been driving just terrible. Horrible brake pulling with the right brake falling apart. Probably was noisy as hell too.

But like everyone else said, at least its fixed.

Actually no thats why i was so shocked. The truck breaked fine. Rode smooth just pulled to the right a little. It was about like this Drive straight let go of stering wheel count to 5 and you start to cross the white line. My dad and my brother didnt notice either they both just thought the camber was off and they are pretty experienced when it comes to that sort of thing
