Some of you may remember my travails on my recent cross country trip. I finally ended up going to National Tire and Battery in St. Louis and they aligned both ends. Said they used up all the adjustment doing so but so far 6,000 miles later, the tires have no more unusual wear. Hooray. NTB is Sears by the way. And I suspect the adjustment went all the way back to new suspension because that's what my van has, all new bushings, etc. I had the alignment done by the best shop in Sacramento after replacing the bushings and they were obviously wrong. I'm going to go speak with them, taking the before and after readings sheet with me. mike > From: "Chris S." <MrVolkswagen@HOTMAIL.COM> > Reply-To: "Chris S." <MrVolkswagen@HOTMAIL.COM> > Date: Tue, 25 Jun 2002 20:43:33 -0400 > To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM > Subject: Re: Power steering replacement and alignments > >> What about the rear wheels? > > Yes.
