How much for total alignment?

nba1341 · July 26th, 2007, 04:24 AM

So yea my car needs to be aligned at a body shop because it leaks water like crazy

I was wondering if this is going to cost me thousands or what?

wait I'm sorry... whats leaking water have to do with your alignment ( wheel alignment? )

Anyway for your wheel if thats what your talking about, we got a place here in toen thats under 40 buck for the front and like another 15 to do the rear.... there is also this other place that does a "lifetime" one but it's 80 bucks and if you can your own tires, rims ect it voids the warranty which is just gay.

Are you talking about straightening the frame?

nba1341 · July 27th, 2007, 08:18 PM

yea i'm talking about frame, fenders, doors, trunk lid

You can only align the front with a solid rear axle.

How bad is it leaking? I've never been around one that doesn't leak a little. A body shop will charge you a lot to line up the body lines because it's very time consuming, and takes more than one person.

It leaks from both the driver and passenger side kick panels

when its raining it leaks enough to get the carpets soaked

what sucks is the water carries along the dash and drips on the middle hump too which means i have to remove my radio every time it rains

69fastback · July 27th, 2007, 09:25 PM

Damn dude that sounds pretty bad. Are you sure it's not the bottom of the windshield leaking?

460brevill · July 28th, 2007, 02:26 PM

irt is most likely the air vents inside the cowl.

Horseshoeing · July 28th, 2007, 03:52 PM

I bet its the cowling too.

nba1341 · July 28th, 2007, 06:15 PM

what needs to be done if its the cowling?
I still dont have the car back yet so I can't find the exact source yet

460brevill · July 28th, 2007, 10:37 PM

you can get cowling repair kits aftermarket.

Horseshoeing · July 29th, 2007, 09:09 AM

They make a cover for it. You live in LA so I would buy the cover and put it in the truck until it rains.

nba1341 · July 29th, 2007, 02:03 PM

ok cool to check if its the cowl do i just pour a cup of water down the vents on each side?

That could work or a water hose.
