Default LCA and Alignment help

hey guys,

car is pulling to the right. Took it in to get alignment straight and the mechanic said that he would recommend a LCA and upper control arms. Said they front two tires turned in, and even if he did the alignment the tires would get worn pretty quickly.

02 Ws6
Koni shocks and lowering springs (I just picked the car up last week, so no sure how long it’s been going on)

also, getting a squeaking noise coming from the front of the car, thought it was the exhaust, but I was wrong. Noise usually when driving slowing and on bumpy roads.

any input is appreciated!

^^^^^^ another question, could I just do a LCA right now (if needed) and that solve my problem.

I do not intend to race, just looking to cruise and break some necks.

fhanks!

Take it to a different mechanic... You can get a good alignment with stock equipment while lowered. Also do not get a "stock" alignment. Get -1 camber, 0 toe and as much caster as possible.
