SorrLiuy to hear about your trouble, especially the shop scratched a brand new wheel. That's why I'm doing as much work as I can.

Btw I'm in town for work thru Wed so if you want to hook up, let me know. I'm staying near i35/sh45.

Oh man, that's no good scratching the rim like that. Are they going to pay for the damage?

Can you post up a picture of the correct way the UCA's are to go on the car? I haven't done anything more than look at mine. I've got a ways to go before I put them in too.


Thanks and I hope you're luck improves.

Overall they are nice and want to help. I think the issue was just a fluke. The tool slipped off

Guess I should have bought an alignment tool. Hopefully I'm more excited about the scratch than I should be. I'll look at like later and see

Not sure what will happen. I need to talk to him later this week.

I'll post up pics when I swap them over. I was going to do it tonight but have new problems. My fan clutch went out on my truck and I overheated it driving home towing the car. It pegged over 250 degrees and I now have a cyl 1 contribution fault. Pretty sure I cracked a head. Today is truly a ****ty day.
