Thanks MrHeeltoe!!!

Got my Tein SS and Ingalls F/R camber kit from and installed by Mr Heeltoe over the weekend. I'd highly recommend him to anyone in Socal who needs help installing stuff.

Here's a couple quick pics I took..






I need to get an alignment ASAP

Damnit, only if we had company's like Excelerate or Heeltoe down in FL then I wouldn't have to worry about finding a shop to get work done. Car is looking good though.

its the 50 or 60k miles you already had that wore out the ball joints!
The drop didnt kill them - they were dying already
Dealer- what are you doing there !!!

Go to an alignment shop and they will make fast accurate work of the job and align it after
Be glad you fixed it now- would have been annoying and the alignment wouldnt stay in place

i've just always done my oil changes at the dealership so yeah...

i forgot to mention i also got an alignment and rotated and balanced my tires as well the day i got the oil changed (these were done outside the dealership)

the guy who did my alignment said they would have said something if they noticed a loose ball joint.. i'll probably get a 2nd opinion from mr heeltoe this weekend..

Marcus can only do so much as far as looking for looseness
The alignment shop is the one who should have caught it
Either them or another alignment shop should inspect

^^^ Agree. If you don't mind driving to Gardena, make an appointment there next time for your alignment/cross weight balancing at West End Alignment. Darrin over there is THE master of alignment. Like Marcus, he's a really great guy with high reps on all auto forums.

yeah, i'd just like a second opinion and if they really need to be replaced then i'll get it done. again, i talked with the alignment shop (recommended by marcus) and they said they would have definitely pointed it out to me if i had a loose ball joint.
