6 Year celebration!! Firestone LifeTime Alignment

[nissanh]

After owning the LC for 6 years, I did it's first alignment today. The camber and caster were still within spec and the toe was bit off due to a replacement of the outer toe-rod.

Since the LC is going to stay, I ended up buying the lifetime alignment $200 - $20 (coupon):

The truck drives much smoother now!

I used my Firestone lifetime alignment yesterday for 2nd time. Easypeasy, make an appointment, give them your phone number, that’s it. Dropped at 10:00 AM, picked up at 1 PM. Worth it!

FWIW I took mine to a Firestone in SC and they said they wouldn't touch it because it had aftermarket UCAs

I bought in on it too, first alignment went great. Second one they came back with a laundry list of front end issues, many of them "urgent", for over $3k. Took it to the tire shop I use, they found nothing wrong.

This last alignment was due to new UCA's, the last item in my front suspension refresh. Everything else in there is new and they did not try to sell me on anything. I am sure it differs from shop to shop. The guys said it was way off and asked if I'd put new parts in, I told him about the UCA's, and he grinned. That was it.

Edit: I installed Freedom Offroad UCA's and they did not bat an eye, maybe I just got lucky?

Check for any potential parts that is bad. walk with them and ask them to show what parts are bad. Once they try to sell an inner tie rod to my 4R. I said I'll return after fixing it. Bought an aftermarket part (was broke back then) and then went to replace the inner tie-rod... surprise.. nothing wrong with the factory part. After 20K miles it is still strong and used daily.

Trust me, I bought lifetime alignment for my car and 4R back in 2009 (was about $150) and have done countless number (about 15+) of alignments for each vehicle... bill is $0.00 each time!! I honestly thought that they will not sell me another for the LC.. but they did!!
