Unless of course you were rear ended. Lastly on the wheel alignment they mount the machine on the rims not on the tyres, which means that I wouldn't give that money. Did you got back a review that shows of how off your alignment is? | |

| Sep 30, 2019 at 13:16 | comment | added | Kitsunemimi | I'm a bit unfamiliar with the platform, but why is it necessary to shim the rear wheels? Is the target alignment beyond the adjustable range of the rear? (are there many potholes in your area?) | |
