# alignment

Posted by jon (89 SE) on September 14, 2004 at 20:42:02: bought some tires at sears and had them check front end alignment as it had been pulling to the right they tell me they adjusted the alignment best they can but that they can't get it right because the entire bushing is sliding or something to that effect i ask if they can fix whatever is causing that and they say no. i ask why and they say they just don't and suggested i have the dealer check it out. can someone tell me 1) what bushing is sliding, what's really wrong? 2) why can't/won't sears fix it 3) is there an alternative to taking it to the dealer thanks in advance for any suggestion Replys: most likely it's the control arm bushings. it's a DIY job If you have a hydraulic press. --> Matt (93SE) 21:57:09 9/14/2004 (5) Re: most likely it's the control arm bushings. it's a DIY job If you have a hydraulic press. --> jon (89 SE) 09:53:44 9/15/2004 (4) the arm might be bent slightly causing it not to align easily, but it won't cause squeaks and stuff --> Matt (93SE) 09:57:43 9/15/2004 (3) maybe that explains... jon (89 SE) 11:21:43 9/15/2004 (2) I live in Rockledge.
