Re: 5KS - Won't hold alignment

["Fred Munro" <munrof@isys.ca>]

Ryan;

    Check the subframe bushings and all suspension bushings. If these are
worn, the alignment will not hold. Your car is at the age where the bushings
probably require replacement. I assume your alignment mechanic has already
checked the tie rod ends and ball joints for wear.
