Wheel alignment?

[niral622]

I took it in to get the so-called free check at Dunn Tire and the guy said he couldn't do the check because I needed new strut bearings...said it would cost $525 to replace those and the struts...I have a 2003 GL with 20,000 miles, and about 10,000 of that is highway...I can't possibly believe that I would need to replace those already...he said that it's "normal" to replace them around 30,000 miles

Now, I did slide into a curb sideways when my car slipped on some ice during the past winter...but I dont think that would affect the strut bearing...he claims that the strut bearing was binding too much to do the alignment check!

Damn Strut bearings, thats right up there with your 30,000 interval change of muffler bearings. Thats guy is a BOZO !

i believe in strut bearings, they mean strut mount. When ur strut mount is bad, it will throw off ur alignment and wear out the tires quicker too.

but if u got 20,000 miles... it appears to be too earily to change those. normally around 60,000 miles and up.
