Default Hey I looked back !!

Hi , This thread is about a year old ! I called all parts stores an no can do . So I called the Dodge Dealer an they ordered it for me it was $ 47.70 + tax & Yep they won't pay a dime on labor or parts . Yep wasn't thier falt !!!!!!!!! Thanks a lot Dodge !!!! Sold me a Caravan without all the parts !!!!!!!!!!!! I hope there are no more short commings from Dodge ?????? Lovvorn, Part # 5013687AB for camber bolt or order from J.C.Whitney Part # 31981G for $ 9.79 + shipping $ 18.98 TOT . I pulled the tire & wheel . Just behind the brake rotor on the shock strut there are 2 bolts holding the strut tight . Loosen the bottom bolt a couple rounds . Then remove the top bolt completely an install the new cambolt with nut . Leave cam bolt slightly loose . Put the wheel back on the van an remove the jack . Take a socket & rachet to turn the cam bolt to the proper degree . Take a vertical level check the other front tire level for vertical bubble position for reference . Go back to the new cam bolt an turn till the bubble matches the other side an tighten both nuts on the strutt to complete . Or you can pay $ 60-$ 120 for an alignment . Good luck . My Lovvorn

I was pulling back from the parking lot and hit the 2 feet cement pole. The good thing is that I hit it with my tire rubber - because my wheels were turned to the right completely. Car just bumped a little bit - no scratches on the body and tire looks fine. However my steering wheel is now off center a little bit.
So I was thinking about wheel alignment. I just don't know if regular shops can do it (since car is equipped with Electronic Stability Control)?

Should I just go with any shop that does wheel alignment or I need to look for something special?
