My local Ford dealer wants $400 for the BAT and sway bar, including 4 wheel alignment. The local shop want $300 for the same gig. Is Ford that far off? My car should present no curve balls, it' s just a baby. Anyway, I would be interested in knowing.

The second my struts come in I'm going there! Ryan Toreador Red 1998 SVT #2843 "Performance in the hands of few"

SVT has the right idea...........local mom and pop performance shop.......that is what you want.....if they can align cool.....if not immediately drive car elsewhere to get aligned...... most "big places" though will charge around 60 bucks an hour......an hour per wheel, hour for sway bar, then computer align........if that helps any...... -chris- 96 gl: 18" adr reactions, SVT rear bumper & side-skirts, Magnaflow exhaust, CTA Intake, ACCEL coil, 9mm wires, Kenwood, Blaupunkt, Sony Xplod Mobile ES, OBX pedals w/dead pedal, neons, bnmotorsports gauges, autometer monster tach, and ZAINO!
