So i go to a tire choice to get my alignment done. i mention to the guy that i am lowered. he told me that the alignment wont stay and will always go off since im lowered..is this true or is this bullshit?

 

alignment will always not stay this is why there are shops that do alignment

but IIRC yes it will impact it.... soemone with moar low experience than me will prob chime in

 

i know omg.....im getting a alignment as i type this, he told me it wont stay and im going to have to keep payign for alignemnt...

 

is the guy bullshitting me??????????????????????

 

Alignment should stay long enough to get you through a set of tires, assuming you don't drive through major pot holes for sport. If you notice any pulling or uneven tire wear it's good to get it checked.

 

I got an alignment right after I put my sportlines in, 60,000 miles ago, and haven't gotten one since. Car still rides true and the tire wear is fine.

 

thats why i love the fact that my buddy is a manager at NTB. Free alignments, rotations and tire mounting

 

yeah screw you.

 

you're being fed a line of BS... the only reason your alignment will be off is if you hit something and knock it out of alignment... or change your static height again...

 

He's bullshitting you unless like the previous poster has said if you enjoy going pothole hunting.

Avoid the big bumps and if you have poor road conditions or you take driveways too fast you may end up having to get another one but it will take more than 20-30k before you do.

Also, I waited 3 full weeks of driving/sitting/using the vehicle before I got the alignment done to allow the springs to settle otherwise, you will have to have it redone when they truly settle for good. I hope you got the lifetime alignment package!

 

i paid 160 for lifetime alignmnet at firestone

 

they dont always know what they are talking about

im about to put ss/sc springs on my lt, should i get an alignment too?

 

yes anytime you change any suspension component you should at least get it checked.

 

What's an alignment?

 

.........Wheel Alignment A Short Course

there u go

 

its when you stand directly in alignment with a car moving very fast, go try it.

 

well thats a little harsh lol

 

Simmer down, that wasn't needed.

 

guy is feeding you bs, i work at a dealer and have done many alignments, as said, as long as you miss holes, hard bumps, ect. and let the springs settle itl last you the life of the tire. anytime ride height is changed or any component in the suspension is changed a alignment is necessary. now if you get a alignment by him and without hitting anything and easy driving it begins to pull/ drift or whathave you, he has left something loose or done somthing to make even the slightest pebble in the road change it so that you will continue to need a alignment

 

lol just messing, but who on a car forum doesnt know what an alignment is? besides that guy /\

 

you have a point.... lol

 

we all have to start learning somewhere

 

This, its best deal ever, got it re-aligned 4 times in a month last summer. totally worth it

 

It's a 10mm drop. Not enough to put you out of spec

 

Lord Christ this is what I was referring to.

My post was sarcasm. You don't need an alignment.
