I get there at 6:30 as they close at 8. The guy tell's me it'll be $87 instead of $69 as my car is lowered (1st annoying thing). OK, I can understand how it'll be harder for the guy to get in there. They didn't start work on it until 7:45 and I could tell the guy obviously wanted to go home (2nd annoying thing).
I gave them my specs:
-1 camber
1.5 caster
1/8 toe
He got to work. When I say work, all he did was remove all but 1 of the alignment shims on the UCA and adjust the adjusting sleeves on the tie rods. Doesn't the strut rod have anything to do with it? This is what I ended up with:
-0.4 camber left
-0.7 camber right
0.7 caster left
0.8 caster right
0.1 toe left
0.06 toe right
"Hmm, not exactly close to what I wanted", I said. "It's within spec", said the tired, wanting to go home tech. (3rd annoying thing) After complaining then deciding they REALLY wanted to go home, I said ok, paid my $90 and went for a spin. Drive's ok until I hit 60+ on the highway. I now get a vibration shaking the car all the way from 60 up to about 90mph and the car feels 'floaty' at speed. Wasn't there before (4th REALLY annoying thing).
So after waiting around for 1 hour, waiting another hour for the work to be done, spending $90 and it not in driving ok, I'm annoyed!
They did say the work has a 12 month 12,000 mile warranty. You can bet there gonna see me Saturday morning first thing!
