alignment ?

[jamstoyz]

when you have ball joints done, do you need to do a alignment? i just had ball joints done and my front tires are wearing on the outer sides but my tires look like they bow in on the top

It's a good idea to have it done anytime you replace front end or steering parts. It's damn sure cheaper than new tires.

I put ball joints in mine and took it to have it alignment done and they told me my tires were leanin out at the top to.

hmmm, the guy at belle tire told me the alignment would not be affected by doing ball joints but what do they know lol. i gotta drop $365 on new front tires now

It may or may not be affected. I'm not an expert in this area by any means, but it's cheap insurance.

Get an alignment done buddy. It could be out, ball joints don't necessarly cause the alignment to go out. But a lot of things can cause the alignment to go out. Mainly the crappy roads in Michigan. My gosh we have pot holes the size of lake superior.
