A high end front end shop wants 4 hours for the frt @ $80/hr, 1.5 just for the rear, thats $600 w/tax, and shop fee, no way!
Pep boys will swap the struts on their bench compressor for $30...how hard is it to split the LCA?

Your kidding right? I just had my car aligned at my work and I have .01 degrees thrust angle and thats with 70,000 city miles and stock ride height. The only thing different in the rear is boxed lower control arms. The straighter the rear end is and better the car will track. A 0 degree thrust line is ideal.
