ok...

first... i think my car is not aligned... not sure... when i do sweeping turns (entering/exiting freeways, or changing freeways, say 15 to 95), i feel like my steering is not as smooth as i want to, granted this is the first RWD that i have owned. like a bumpsteer, it takes out the confidence i have for the car, as it feels like the back will break loose sooner than i expected. i feel like im correcting my steering input whenever im turning... hopefully it's misaligned so that i can correct it.. otherwise, i might ask one of you(ahem.. karim... ahem... rudy..) to drive my car so someone more knowledgeable can understand what im talking about...

with this... second question is... karim posted some recommended shops on the stickies... how much to you get your alignments for? i didnt wanna ask questions there..

third... i went to pepboys awhile ago(buy some cleaning stuff), and while i was there.. i had a conversation with the service manager that went like this...

me: how much for alignment?
manager: $70 for all 4 wheels, $100 for 1 year.
(insert more questions and answer here, of what constitutes one year alignment)

me: will you do all toe, camber, and caster?
manager: is your car stock?
me: yes.
manager: then we can only do toe.
me: why is that?
manager: we cant adjust caster and camber for stock setups.
(me not being sure)
me: um? i have an S2000.
manager: all hondas can only have toe as adjustable if setup is stock.

i didn't argue with him anymore coz i wasnt sure anyway... plus he even asked another employee and said the same thing...

so i guess my point is... i was under the impression that we can adjust all caster, toe, and camber for our car, even if i am bone stock.... please correct me if im wrong.. and enlighten me...

thanks in advance...

since you go to Socal all the time, why don't you take it to West End...I hear he's the master.

Darin is good too but I think you should go see the guys here in Vegas. It's rare we find good shops herethat actually know what they are doing so lets give them some business to keep them around

KrazyKarim

Shop: Euro Asian Motorworks
702-399-3876

Any other suggestions?

KrazyKarim

Is my suggestion not good enough? Both Rudy and I have to get 1-2 alignments year so we've tried quite a few alignment shops

My other suggestions are Geroges alignments and brakes on Meade (used to have them do most of the alignments on my ap1) or Nationwide Safety Brakes & Alignment Center on Boulder Highway both are good but neither were able to nail my specs as well as Euro Asian and Euro Asian has a much nicer shop and equipment

Hehe... Ok... If you really insist!!!

Dont want to thread jack, but my car gets a decent vibration on the freeways around 80+...doesnt really pull to a side strong, and the wheels have been balanced...the only thing I haven't done is align the car

Do u think the alignment will help? Possibly fixing the vibration?
