Cool, thanks for the tips guys
But has anyone had any experience with Pep Boys and their alignment warranty?
I just want to know if they will realign my car for free after I do my suspension or if they will not honor it.

Hmmm. Well I just found a local shop that I can get $10.00 off..but no warranty. So $45.00 4 wheel alignment is pretty good, I think I will just wait until Sat. after I install my Koni's

Pep boys warranty on alignments is fine. To be certain they do the work, take your car to a different PepBoys than the one you had the alignment done originally. Tell them the alignment did't hold & you're sceptical of the other techs skill because of it.
By the way, $10 says they tell you you need fresh steering/suspension parts, ball joints, tie rods, control arm assemblies, etc. and the warranty does not apply.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

I take it that is what happened to you?
In reality, after 132,000 miles I guess I should replace them.

I had a good experience with Tire Kingdom when I had my Mercury. They diagnosed my front end for me, I got the parts & installed them myself. Went back for an alignment from them. Later had to replace the DS tie rod end, and they performed the re-alignment for free under warranty. Some shops are good.

Well, Pep Boys ends up as my "[censored] YOU [censored]!"
They said they wouldnt touch my car because the sideskirts were too low and couldnt get the lift under it. I said I can take the 6 screws out, and they said no, they dont want to work on a lowered car.
Whatever.....dipshits
