i think we need a 4 wheel alignment since we have independent suspension... and cars with a solid rear axel need a regular wheel alignment.
someone please correct me though

Just say you need an alignment on a 2000 Oldsmobile Alero because you lowered it, that's all I said but mine is an 03 alero

If its lowered, make sure you call around and find a shop that will even touch it. It took me about 10 calls before I found somebody that would do the work and I had to sign a release of liability if anything got damaged in the process of them putting it on the alignment rack.

Call around and find the best price you can on a lifetime 4 wheel alignment. For the extra 20-50 bucks, you can take it back whenever you need to and get it realigned for no extra charge, rather than pay for a whole new alignment every time you replace a tire or suspension component.

Wow, that sucks... I just took my chevy a month ago to the alignment shop and told they even aligned it to my specs. It's lowered too.

I never had this problem, but then again, I have the eibachs so it's not that low.
Waiting on the green light for my alignment. I need a new tie rod. That will cost less than $100 parts and labor, but I can get the alignment for free at the wife's auto tech school ;)
