Wouldn't be the first time.

If you look closely at the threads on the tie-rod ends, you can probably see where they 'adjusted' your toe in using your drag link. AAARGH!

Then you can spend time fixing what you paid someone else to f**k up.

The one and only time I let someone else try and set my toe in for me [my buddy who owned the local tire shop said he would put his "best man on it" for $20] I shook my head in disbelief as he started loosening the clamps on the draglink. I politely asked him how he thought that would change the distance between the tires.

I could tell he did not like my question.:
