Front end alignment

Well I'm off to get my front end worked on after the alignment teck f$%&ed it up. The little turd didn't tighten the upper arm bolts down tight and they worked out, hopefully it didn't ruin anything. That's why I dont like anyone to work on my stuff, but some things you just have to have someone do the work for you.

Re: Front end alignment

This is why my stuff is never done.....I've seen so many people ripped off that I dont want anyone to touch my stuff. I want to do it all myself.

I would make him pay for the damage! Good thing you weren't hurt or caused an accident.

Makes ya wonder why they let him mess with peoples cars in the first place if they'll readily admit now that he doesn't know what he's doing....

Re: Front end alignment

I did all ball joints and tie rods on my 62 and took it to Firestone (i would never recommend them at all) and the guy at the front desk told me that 2 of my ball joints would need to be replaced before i could get it aligned because they were worn out, i told him to give me my keys and i was leaving and the reason i was bringing it was because i replaced the whole front end and if the tech knew the difference from his @$$ and a hole in the ground he would have seen that

He just looked at me and gave me my keys
