Dan looks like they did a great job with the fender....

for alignment hit up Firestone....they have been installing inground jacks all around....I have the lifetime alignment with them and I go there every 4-5K miles and get an alignment + rotate and balance....

Fck Firestone. Those are the guys who messed up my A-Specs when I had them powdercoated

Plus I had 3 alignments with them with no problem and then all of a sudden they claim that my car won't fit on the rack anymore, saying my car was lower than before. wtf.

^^^ your springs might have settled down

but yeah not all firestones were created equally....i love the one by my house and that is the only firestone i go to

PS: drive right by firestone and see if there is an asian guy working there...i DO NOT hand my car to any one other than an asian dude....not being stereotypical but just trying to keep my baby safe

I've had the springs on for 3 years, the previous owner had them on for 2 years, and the shop turned me away 6 months ago

well your springs might have sagged in that case

i think it depends on a rep to a rep basis....if they are not comfy doing it, i see no point in trying to convince them to put the car on the rack....it will only mess your car up....ya know...

and i rather have them being honest than to mess things up

The pass seat in the CL does the same thing if the seat back is leaned back too far. If I straighten it out a little it stops rattling.

The place that rolled my fenders gave me the info for a guy that works at the local dodge dealership. They have an inground machine so you drive over it and it lifts cars. Hes doing it on the side for $50 so its even cheaper than any place that turned me away

Well for some reason the drivers side has a lot less adjusment than the pass side. Toe on rear pass is now -.3 and the drivers rear is -1.7 but wont adjust anymore. He's moved the jam nut all the way out and it wont go any further

Not sure. The camber kit on the rear has threads showing on the pass side meaning its got a lot of adjustment left if needed. The drivers side doesnt have any threads showing meaning its maxed out basically.
