I wouldn't bother with the dealer, they'll probably remove them and then drive the car and give you the keys.

Were they on all four corners or just on one?

The guys at AI are great!

Ill give auto innovations a call, thanks for the replies.

I don't think I beat the record fortunately, think I saw someone with 70,000 on their car till they found them. They were super easy to take off. Just jack up the car and pull them out.

There's a special thread with nothing but people who had this happen to them. I remember it was one of the first things I read on S2ki. I got super paranoid and ran out to check my springs! Luckily I was all clear.

+1 for Auto Innovations.

i noticed my steering wheel is tilted left to...(normal), but then again, i might have a bent CA or something... and I wouldn't expect a warranty for alignment for custom alignments with different coil overs. sears, firestone, etc. will only provide warranty on unmodified stock height suspended cars.

Maybe it's your tilted head

They do great alignments and if something's off then it's most likely an issue with your tires which boils down to driving habits or lack of maintenance like not getting it aligned after lowering it. How long has it been without an alignment?


I have the perfect place for you, they only charge a hundred and forty nine dollars for an alignment and they don't give you a warranty either. It's in mountain view let me know.
