Jobson alignment today

Jobson did only the toe in, caster camber etc not possible, bit surprised.

they explained the front axle it is not made for any adjustment.

did test drive mechanic said it will veer off to right a bit but the comfort drive may correct it or make it not noticeable

said that's why they install Saft T steer for $800.

Drove out from the shop 50 miles all felt fine

total cost $260

good shop
