Speaking of Advance.... I gave my benz to them for alignment and wheel balance... it came out exactly the same as before, same shake at 110kmh+ same pull when going over man hole covers.... heard they're moving..... Neither did they ever gave me a alignment spec sheet after wards.... Now I'm wondering if they did alignment at all... I was charged for it after all and I can't test it out until 1-2 days after I got he car back as it have been raining etc...

Sounds to me like your wheels need to be rebalanced

What I'm trying to say is that if you feel shaking at high speeds it is most likely your wheel balance and not alignment.

I know read my post, I did both by them because I felt shake at 110 and pull on manholes.

advance doesnt do alignments, they send it out. so if u feel ur steering wheel isnt straight, and or the car pulls to one side, then go back and ask them to send out again. there should be some grace period.

if u feel wheel shake, rebalance the front, ask to see the wheel on the balancer to see if the rim is bent in any way.

They say they can fax me the spec sheet, but can't email since their scanner is broken, but my fax is broken...
