    Curious now if I should skip the dealer and go to a lifetime alignment place so I can check my alignment after I lower my mirage!

    What did you ask them? They are talking about charging me to check my alignment I don't need anything adjusted just need to verify it is within spec... hopefully they are kind to me as they were for you! Happy to hear your mirage is good to go

    Same here. I still haven't got my alignment checked.

    See, mine looked visually out of spec to me at well. But ALLL GREEN when I got it checked. Go get yours checked, it's a great piece of mind.

    Tell them that you notice some odd behavior in the car.

    Went to the dealership....

    I explained I wanted the alignment checked due to it pulling to the right $80... I informed him about the toe mis adjustment in the rear and he said that's just hear say on the internet. He told me $80, then I said other dealers have checked it for free for Mirage owners, he then said ok we will write it up and take a look at it. I also had my second free oil change done (first 3400, second 6800 and they say they use castrol synthetic edge 0w20 not mitsubishi oil). He came to me like last time complaining about my tires over inflated to 45 psi and they re set them for me haha. They put in the work order that they performed a alignment and he told me it was a little out of adjustment but not much, didn't give me a print out of anything and was quick to walk away and start talking to another customer. I didn't want to be rude so I left, I figure I'll get my H&R springs on and pay for a lifetime alignment somewhere to see if he was being honest and did a alignment .

    one of the dealers that i went to when looking at mirages told me that mirages can ONLY use synthetic oil and not regular oil. i kept my mouth shut because i was almost done talking with him... some dealers are such clowns.

    I know Sears will do a free alignment check if no adjustments are made.
