Hey I got another question

.
I know there are adjustments for the alignment on most vehicles and have heard some don't have any so you then have to find what is bent and replace

.

Well I need my 99 Taurus aligned and they told me that they will have to drill out the spot welds to adjust the camber then reweld.
Does this sound right? I just thought I would check and see if this is the way it is done

.

Certified Knucklescraper,Floorcrawler,Gimme the big hammer,who needs a pry bar just hand me the screwdriver,it's tight enuff,if a little is good alot is better, just smear somemore of that blue stuff on it it'll seal and just turn up the radio that'll take care of it Mekcannic (LOL)

I just wondered why they would not make it so you could adjust it but then I remembered all the other bright ideas those educated engineers came up with .

Another better idea by FERD.
