Well first off i took my car to get aligned , they put it on the machine and had gotten the reading then told me they were unable todo it because they required some part for their machine which need to be replaced.

Long story short , both my front wheels are at a .050 .070 so they are toed in pretty good. There was a slight issue with one of the back wheels that was off and he told me even when the machine isnt working he cant do anything about it? yet it was a 4 wheel alignment machine.. Something about being a solid axel . Dunno when it comes to suspension im not really bright ( and everything else dealing with this car )


Next problem is when i release the brake pedal there is a pop click sound from the front right caliper? .. Pads are pretty worn and rubber hoses not ss .. is it just sticking for a second?
 
If it's the same car listed by your screen name then you do not have a solid rear axle. If you were in a 1G FWD then you have a solid rear like a k-car or minivan. They might have assumed without looking you were FWD, so go somewhere else. I hope they didn't charge you!

It could be either a toe or camber problem in the rear. If your car is very low then it's probably camber that they can't fix. But there are cures available through both whiteline bushings or Ingalls adjustable upper arms. Get your car aligned first to find out the problem.
 
alright thanks , ya i didnt know what he was saying , we have individual suspension .. confused me good hehehe.
