Front end Alignment

[CSTYLES]

Tom, that was me that had the alignment fiasco. I couldn't take it to the place you recommended because I could hardly drive at 30 mph much less highway speed to get into to NoVa.

I sat on it for a while and finally found a place 4 miles from my house that sounded reputable. Executive Tire in Rockville, MD. They were very professional, the owner even drove me to work after I dropped off my truck. When I insisted that they not adjust the torsion bar or ride height they asked, "why would we do that?" That is how I knew I had the right shop.

The guys at Merchant's are used to taking short cuts, not one off or custom jobs.

NIT, to answer your question they only did a front alignment, at least they only charged me for the front end ($59).

CSTYLES - Glad to hear that you got it resolved & that you found a place you can trust.

VXNIT - unless your VX is noticably crabbing as you drive, the front end alignment should yield optimal tire wear & best gas mileage. If you're still not sure after alignment, you can chalk a line across your tread, drive it a short distance then check to see if the chalk rubbed off in a strange pattern.
