Default Ball Joint Question Searched already

i couldn't find the answer but very similar ones but is it true or not that a shop will NOT give you an alignment if your ball joint won't thread back in correctly or "its shot" but your just a cheap or lazy *** help me on this guys?

Most alignment shops will give you an alignment. Try a cheap place like a tire kingdom or tires plus or whatever you have near you. Any place that takes pride in there work or offers any limited warranty will not do an alignment on a car with damaged suspension component. Balljoints are very inexpensive and easy to install just go to Advanced or Napa and buy them. You will be glad you replaced them. goodluck.

Also be sure you balljoints have the castle nut on all the way with a cotter pin in them. If your balljoint is not installed correctly no one will touch it.

how could anyone know what a shop will and won't do without speaking to the shop?

do you have a phone book? if so USE IT and call the shop and ask yourself, what answer did you expect to find on honda tech? a list of shops who will and wont do an alignment with a f'd up ball joint?

what exactly did you search?

"shops that will align with broken ball joint faq thread?"

this makes no sense, seriously.
