Alignment
I got my car back (Blue 94) yesterday from an alignment. The previous owner had it done twice before I bought the car. He said that he was not satisfied with either job. After picking up a screw in one of my front tires, I found that they had worn down to the belt on the inside of the tires and were worn out. I took the car in to my local dealership where they have a tech that works on SVXs. They called at the end of the day and said that the tie rods could not be broken loose. He said that it was way off and that it had not been aligned in the receint past if ever. They wanted me to authorize a couple more hours to work on it. After several hours of working on it - penatraiting oil over night, heat, and a vice and BFH, he got the job done. It was a little more expensive than normal, but at least he got it done. I have gained faith in this shop and am pleased that they did the complete job and didn't give up when they found something that was difficult.
 I put on another set of stock wheels and tires that I already had, and will start saving for new 17" tires. The back ones are half worn which is too much difference for new ones on the car.  All 4 new ones! Oh well!
