what makes it expensive is the way the control arms are designed and they often sieze or adjustment rods are fused to the thread ( requires to be torched and in many cases they have to be replaced due to heat damage - if under warranty - there is no charge - if not then the cost as I saw it on my bill is about 1000 ( parts and labour) - and how you may ask , whaen I went to pick up my car from dealer the car jocky that brought it over jumped the curve right in front of me and I demand to have the car check for wheel alignment right there - and sure enough it was off - so the dealer took the loss and fixed it - the final bill was for 1250.00 and they paid it . So make sure your newly purchased baby is all straight :) "Bob" <uctraingDESPAMnopsamanet.com> wrote in message news:djt4lukh1e591a8lo9lvrbmioekaj9t31rnopsamcom... > On Thu, 08 Aug 2002 11:30:46 GMT, <milanihnopsamrs.com> wrote: > > > >as somedo not care if they jump the curve or not . - also it may requirw > >wheel alignment ( for saab this is not cheap) > > > The alignments are not much more than any other car.
