RE: Alignment

["Anthony K.B. Chan" <chan@seattleu.edu>]

At U. Audi they told me the basic front end alignment is $69.95 but the 
last two times I was in for an alignment I ended up paying $99.95 plus 
tax. My car is either front end alignment or thrust line alignment since 
the rear is not adjustable(I have the FWD 100 with the beam axle on the 
back). Yap! I had two alignment in 2 weeks :( Got it lined up one day and 
the next day I drove over some brand new speed bump at work so I went 
back for another one last friday then I drove up a couple of cobblestone 
streets and now it felt like it was out again after $200 dollars later in 
2 weeks.
