I would get it realigned no matter which way I did it.

I need to look at the tie rod assembly again. Also, I need to make sure that the spring will come out by taking the tie rod off. That may be easier if it will work. Won't have to tie the A-frame up to keep from destroying a brake line. You need to come to Dallas by way of Burleson.

I really don't want anyone messing with the alignment unless I have to. It is in perfect alignment right now, and I have had horrible exoeriences in the past with doofuses at shops.

If I came to Waco, what would I need to bring? I have a floor jack and stands. Do you have a spring compressor? I assume you have all the sockets and wrenches.

i can bring jack and stands and the hand tools, we would need a spring compressor, not sure if you can rent the heavy duty one from autozone or the like. I really should invest in a heavy duty compressor, but you know how my money situation is right now...

OMG!!!! I'm starting to sound like Jim.

It didn't work. At least the going outside part. I decided not to do the running part.
