quick question

Post by onewickedkid05 » Sat Aug 30, 2008 2:01 pm

So me and my buddy he is a mechanic were talking. He said if you dont get an alignment it could damage your rack and pinion.

I told him hes full of shit?

Just wondering what are peoples thoughts? could not having an alignment screw up your rack and pinion? or does it just cause excessive tire wear

Well..... I can see it putting excessive stress on the rack and pinion, more specifically the tie rod ends which could wear quicker and break, but to what degree I couldn't say.

I would think there wouldn't be a problem so long as the tech knew what he/she was doing.

also, this belongs in the suspension section
