my bro's gf's car got stolen and all they took were the rims. the body shop says that the car needs an alignment???? they left the car on the ground but there was no damage to the rotors at all. does it really need an alignment?

TIA

 

wouldnt hurt her plus alignments are what 50$ at the most, probably doesnt need it, but if they dropped it on the ground instead of setting it on the ground nicely, it could use one, my best bet would be to tell ya get it done just to be safe u dont want her searching for her lipstick on the passanger floor board, and the car suddenly steer hard to the left cause not aligned right to ya?

 

true....

 

she's lucky they only took her rims.

yes, get an alignment. Also check the exhaust pipes for dents and suspension, particularly the shocks and struts for leakage.

Better to be safe than sorry.

 

ahhh....i got my slipstreams jacked last may....woke up to my car on just stock jacks...3 of them to be exact. Eventually the car fell over off of the jacks...pushed up my exhaust, but all i had to do it pull it back down...and didnt bend any of the rotors...never got an alignment, but since you say her car was sitting on the ground, I would get an alignment for safety reasons.....

 

what kinda rims were they?

damn usually they leave them on jacks or donuts. I wonder how they managed to leave the car on the floor. Theives are getting relentless these days

yup, just to be on the safe side, I would go for it!

 

Firestone currently has lifetime alignments for $149.99.

 

i get my alignments at firestone for a minimal fee

 

So her car was stolen just for si rims? That's so ridiculous...some people...

I thought alignment was more than 50?
