Last alignment I had done was $55 but when I got my car back the wheel wasn't centered anymore. Got them to do it again. Still not 100% how I like it.

[RX25SE]

Wheel alignments!!!! Bah..

For $50-75 you are getting a 'toe and go'. Toe adjustment only.
Around 100 I would think it would be a four wheel align, checking rear.

A 'full' align should be all cambers, front caster (if adjustable) and front and rear toe. I should cost 150-200 depending on the time taken.

Just my 2 cents.

Full align worth it Jase? Or only if you are getting uneven wear?

[Adam]

I'm sorting out this shit fight today!!!

Would depend on tyre wear or what you want the car to do.

Gets my hackles up when people are told they are getting a full alignment for $60.

[Adam]

Yep pretty misleading!

Somewhere like Jax wouldn't be the place to go for a proper full alignment would it?

[B4TT]

I dont understand toe and go.... You have the equipment set up and ready may as well just do it properly.

Damn evil B4 exhaust just had to be a problem, didn't it?

[Adam]

What's up with it Zac?

[Zac]

Your exhaust is fine man, it just won't fit on the B4 unless you chop the whole thing up... dude showed me why... this exhaust would fit on a Liberty or WRX, but not a B4... immediately after the muffler, the pipe bend to go around something, and the exhaust I got doesn't... so it won't fit on my car...

[Zac]

Probably because yours is a custom exhaust?????


Oh & Hi all

I don't know if its custom... guy in the shop said I had a 3" pipe from the cat back, and that was it, and it went to a cannon muffler... the one I just got wouldnt fit without quite a bit of mods, pretty much chopping the whole thing up and making a custom system from the parts... hmmm...

Might try another place next weekend...

Can't just chop the inlet pipe off the muffler and make up a new one to suit?

[nickknack]

I have an unknown fujitsubo muffler but I think it's a legalis R. It was bolt on for the stock exhaust so when I had the rest of the exhaust done I just got them to weld on a 3 inch inlet pipe to it.

[RXJezza]

I've gotten a 4 wheel alignment 3 times from Jax and they were all $60.

[Zac]

Yeah...or even use the existing pipe? Cut and weld that shit! Liberty/B4....didn't know there was a difference.

What exhaust are you rinning NAX?

Thats guys... think the guy I went to today was not keen to do that... think he wanted to sell his stuff more.. so might take it to another shop next weekend and see if they can do it. Yeah I'd think they should be able to chop off the 2.5" inlet pipe and weld it onto my 3" pipe with a little work.. but meh, we'll see... not in a hurry... will need some bracket work too, but thats a given... lol... guess some people don't want my money...

[nickknack]

Yeah find another shop and make it clear what you want from them.
