So after I install the RE super flex kit on my xj I took it to a local shop to get an alignment done, should have done it myself , I know that now.
The first time they adjusted the toe only even though he said that he would adjust caster and it was about 2 degrees under on both sides. So I took it back the next day and they worked on it again but adjusted the left lca all the way forward and the right lca almost all the back to the point that the wheelbase was almost 1 inch shorter on the right and it drove poorly. They also did not use shims behind the control arms and claim that they have never seen a jeep that requires shims.
How does all this sound to you? Like a shop that doesn't know anything or am I being too picky? I have since adjusted it myself and it is driving good, but how far should I go to get the money back I paid them?
Thanks all,
Daniel
