[QUOTE="Adam Smith, post: 1020332, member: 59024"] I'm perfectly willing to pay to have my alignment "checked", it's just that I've never done that (I've taken other cars in to have aligned, but not my Trac, so it is probably way overdue). However, some forum members here say that there should be shops that will just check it w/o charge. More importantly: One member above: "Doesn't first Generation just have the locking washer that you can pull off and discard to change the camber?" So far the shops I've called say I have to buy the full kit, but several respected knowledgeable forum members say it's not needed on the '04. I trust these forum members more than the shops, who may be trying to make an extra $90 (cost of kit, plus installation each side) on a $55 alignment job. I can buy a kit on my own, at a place giving a small Firefighter discount, but I don't want to buy a kit if it's not necessary. I'll probably just take it in to Dualtone near Mission Bay. Anyone have any recommendations for / against them, or of another alternative? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
