So this will be the one steering/suspension part I've not replaced, (except sway bar bushings) has anyone found this to be in the bucket of their alignment issues/repairs?

Unless it's the tire size which I highly doubt 195/70/14 as this is the 3rd set that size, I will take this non-wrecked neon to a frame shop to have the specs checked as this will be the last shot lol

 

It could be.

 

I'll let you all know by the weekend bushings are 4.99 @ the Rock lol

 

low an behold it was the tie rod ends and ball joints slightly worn, never again buying parts form oriellys lol rack an pinion was not it...

 

I gave up on O'Reilly's a loooooong time ago.
