Default ****ing alignment!!!

big problems......and im uber pissed

took it to get it aligned at firestone a few days ago.....they cant get all the specs and angles in the red because "they just cant"....you know what.....thats bull**** and i know it so i take it to grubbs nissan and it just goes downhill from there

ya uh sir youre gonna need a new right front spindle, hub assembly and control arm....that totals to....over a thousand dollars.....plus another 80 for the alignment....PLUS another 80 for this first alignment because they couldnt tell i needed new parts till they got it up on the rack (which is understandable)

long story short....does anyone know where i can get these parts cause nissan is trying to give me the big one right up my ***

i am now getting in my car driving up to nissan getting the new sheet read out and then going to another dealership

i hate days like this....

Do aftermarket shocks and springs count?

warranty is up.....no aftermarket suspension


i just got back from there and i was looking at the spec sheet for alignment....

i have a -1.5 camber on the front right

im not going to pay $1000 so they can bump it back in .2 degrees, my control arm might be SLIGHTLY bent but its not worth the moeny....ill just watch the tire wear i guess

still pisses me off they tried to play it off like i NEEDED these parts....they called me while it was still up on the rack and theyre like "WE CAN DO IT NOW WE HAVE THE PARTS BUT IF WE TAKE IT DOWN IT WONT BE RIGHT, ITS REALLY MESSED UP"

*******s....

+1... I lowered my Z with S-Techs and was able to get it within -1.5 on the front camber with stock suspension other than springs.
