So, the tie rod ends are finished as is the new installation of the strut. I know I should get an alignment, but didn't I only disturb the toe in (never disturbed the upper strut mount)?
Anyway, I went to a local Porsche shop (SSI in Baltimore) that has a great reputation. They wanted two hours labor, which I figured would be about $150-$170. They wanted $240. So, I went to a regular tire store (Merchants) that does a lot of work for me. They said they couldn't do it because their sensors won't fit on my 9" BBS rear wheels that are barely tucked under my flares. So, I guess I need an older shop with older stye equipment? What exactly am I looking for? Also, she used to pull pretty strongly to the right, but since I did the tie rod ends, she's much better...barely any pull at all. The steering wheel is ever so slightly cocked to the right, but I can take care of that. Should I just let it go and watch the tire wear? Not in love with these Dunlops anyway. Whattaya think? |
