First thought is that this is an incredible thread there’s so much info here. A couple of questions come to mind...
I took my car in yesterday for an alignment and they told me they couldn’t align it because the control arms are shot...I have 90k miles so that seems sensible. Now to my questions...
Will the shop have any trouble aligning the car if I use the M3 arms and tension struts? I’m reading about the negative camber and grinding edges of the bushings...and I’m concerned that the m3 arms might cause issues...
What about my tie rod ends? I haven’t checked them out but the shop said they were still tight. Should I plan to change them anyway while I’m in there?
Thanks for the help...
