Took off work installed new tie rod ends

Had em in the trunk for a few months now and it was so nice out today I threw em on. Big difference, no more steering play. Car was pulling to the passenger side so I cranked both wheels over to the driver side very slightly and MAN! she tracks straight and true, best alignment I've ever had on her I'm never paying for an alignment again, yes Im a cheap b@stard.

Keep in touch. I'd like to hear about how bad your tires are cupped out in about two months.

Various places have never got the alignment right after 2 or more tries and Ive had my old 16" Eagle HPs wear fast on the inside previously after "professional alignments". The wasted time, ending up with a car that pulls, and $65 per alignment is worth the same to me as 2 $90 Kumhos. And yes I have taken it back twice the last 2 times with good computer readings but still the same unsatisfactory results. The steering wheel is perfectly centered now, I can let go of it and it sticks on a line. I drive it on weekends and maybe twice a week to work, maybe 5-7K miles a year. I'm happy with it now and not letting another wrench monkey near it. $180 every 1.5 years is worth not paying for dissatisfaction imo.
