When i bought my DA i didnt notice that my wheels sit pretty far back in the front fenders. anyone know what parts i need to make my wheels sit even with each other? my upper control arms bent? i can't really tell when i take the wheels off and look. please help!

 

It's really hard to see slightly bent things to the ''naked eye'' first things first, I would put it on an alignment rack..

 

i tried getting it aligned and the guy said that the suspension or something is ****ed up and he couldn't even align it..

 

You need to know what that ''something'' is.. I would've asked specifics man

 

he wouldnt tell me without paying hella money.. i gave him 80 for him to say i can't align it. other then that he didn't say much.. and my steering wheel just goes to the right by itself really bad. like if i let go of the steering wheel it'll jerk to the right

 

Horrible, man I would of raised hell or asked to speak with management. Take it to a reputable shop.

At my shop we don't charge if we can't do the alignment and we will gladly explain issues to customers.. wow man.

 

if u had to give it a guess what do u think it'd be?

 

If the wheels sit further back in the wheel wells, you have a caster issue. Someone probably hit a curb and bent the LCA and/or the tension rod. DA's have tension rods, right?

Why would you pay someone $80 not to align the car? You're either a troll and we've all been had...or you're way too easy going.

 

holy **** why would you pay?

 

did you pay?...........

 

calll the shop back, ask for the manager tell him what happen and that you are not happy with what happen the other day. you woundt loose anything. Post the shops name so they can have a bad reputation and nobody will go there.

 

x2

even with caster out of whack you can still set the toe.

unless you have bent suspension arms and the shop just didn't want to touch the car.

if that was the case no shop i could ever imagine would charge not to touch a car

 

Srsly get some info or ur money back. How long ago did u buy the vehicle?

 

Everyone's really worried about the OP's money now. A mob is assembling against this shop.

 

wait wait it was only like 25 just looked at the receipt. but yea they didnt even want to touch it. i did it at firestone my dad had a gift card from them. it was some boater asian guy and i was kinda being a push over.

 

im wondering if i should just go buy some OEM front upper and lower control arms..

 

Or...find out what's actually wrong?
