A lifetime alignment from firestone is $140ish? IIRC My time to do this in addition to the accuracy of a laser based alignment machine isn’t worth fucking around at home with it. ---

Yep, if you hold onto a car more than a couple years you can’t beat the lifetime alignment. Pay once then anytime I need it done I drop the car off on my way to work then swing by on lunch to pick it up. ---

> [@LUKE\_L](#): > > Why doesn’t anyone align their own vehicle anymore? I think everyone has different alignment needs. For my car I have lots of adjustable mutilink, a lowered car with adjustable coilovers, etc. I don’t just want an aligned car but one that rides with the proper suspension travel, that still looks good without rubbing (or being “stanced”) and with low bump-steer. That’s why I take it to Licata’s. Could I do this at home? Probably but it would take me twice as long. ---

I think for me it is the “I’ve just always done it that way” mentality…I’ve never really considered having someone do it. LOL. ---

It’s 179.99 for a lifetime alignment. It doesn’t matters hat the car is what the adjustment is ---
