That will ease your guilt...hahahaha I got it from Winn Dixie of all places.

Thanks for the offer but I use that fancy overpriced amsoil. I think i'm off center by 3-5 degrees on my steering wheel which kinda annoys me. So I'll have to do a touch up on my toe again.

I just need to center the steering wheel once when I adjust both tie rods right? Last time I did it I adjusted the tie rod, adjusted/centered the steering wheel, measured front tire, adjusted tie rod, centered steering wheel and etc a bunch of times. After watching a video I saw the person only adjust/center the steering wheel once and then mess with tie rods until they measured correctly with rear. But me, I kept adjusting/centering steering wheel every time I turned the tie rod.

I have electric power steering on my RX8. If you have that? There is a rather interesting method in my OM to re-zero it. Put a couple pieces of cardboard under each tire or jack up the front end so you don't put circles on your driveway/garage floor. Involves ign on only, poke, poke, full lock right, full lock left, dance hokey pokey, blah, blah. That re-centers my steering so then I see if it's my toe or the computer is off a hair.

If you don't have time to get to Joe B's due to distance/time. TK will still gladly do a free align check. If you decide to let them correct your toe/to straighten steering wheel it will cost you $75 4 wheel alignment but they will do it again for free within 6 months. Joe B showed me how to do that stuff for a good price and a Monday supper tip:) He has a lift which is awesome for getting at stuff. I'm too old to get under my car that's so low on 17's I have to drive the tires on 2x10's to get my racing jack under it. Yikes. Lower than my Vette with short tires.
