    a lot of times the car will still drive ok, it's just that your tires will wear out unevenly. Alignment can run from 50-80 depending on where you go.

    is there such a place where shops offer a "Lifetime Wheel Alignment"? My brother said there are some shops that might do that, but i've been looking for a while now and never seen any that even offer it.

    you're alignment will be fine as long as you don't change the suspension or hit a curb pretty hard. I don't understand how a lifetime warranty on an alignment would be possible.

    If I recall correctly, Firestone offered a lifetime, or something close to it, wheel alignment program. For $170, they would align your car (at least that's what the guy offered) as often as necessary for the life of the program. I thought about it, but it ended up being useless as they didn't even bother trying to get my car (lowered with S.Tech) onto the lift.

    Alignments are only 40 bucks here. I would say look for a shop that will do it for between 40-60 dollars maybe, but maybe prices in your area will be higher, who knows. If you have never done one since you bought your car, then it probably wouldnt be a bad idea to have it done anyway. Technicaly your supposed to do an alignment after the suspension is changed, but it seems likem most ppl are finding that it isnt that necessairy on our corollas. But like I said, if you havnt done it since you bought the car, it wouldnt hurt to do it now. Then you atleast have the peice of mind that its done and overwith and dont have to worry about premature tire wear.
