Who says you can't do your own alignment? I've got 40000 miles on a
set of tires after doing my own. Just put ion the amount of camber
you like then set it for zero toe. The only hard part getting the
!@#$% adjusters to turn (had to remove the whole strut for one of
them).
Useful advice portion of this message:
I hear that it's much easier to remove/install the engine if the
battery tray is not in the way; that is: put your battery in the
trunk.
