Manny, how does it usually cost for a regular alignment?

At our shop the base alignment starts at 50 bucks and works it's way up depending on the car and what needs to be adjusted and reset on the car. Our cars are pretty basic, just front wheel alignment. Camber, caster, and toe.

Sears usually has the Special J-tool needed to do the alignment. I would start there.

Thanks Manny.
BTW, can bad alignment create humming sound on the freeway? I am trying to pin point this humming sound and so far it's either the wheel bearing or the tires from the alignment

If you have been running your tires for a while without alignment then sure it can. They get cupped on the inside of the tire and makes that humming noise. Check the inside of the tread and feel for cupping. If so then they will mostlikly be the problem. Check all 4. Or if u can rotate them and see if the noise transfers

OTC is the manufacturer... i got a matco one that was for W bodies but it was flimsy and bent after a few uses. The OTC one i ordered from my snap-on guy, it was around 3 bills, and is way beefier looking than the Matco one. The OTC one is F body specific.

btw i highly doubt sears would stock a specific alignment tool for 93-02 f bodies.
