    Wow all those potholes! I thought NJ was in the States, now I must assume it is in central Africa.

    Still had my lifetime alignment so I took it back to pepboys. They got it straight again front right tire was -1.0 degree camber. I guess they can be bad at alignment but with this lifetime alignment they can keep trying until it is right. Who knows how long it will last this time. If it keeps happening I will talk to the dealer.

    My MPG apparently was taking a significant hit from this. I could not get above 37ish. After it was fixed I was able to achieve 45+ again.

    Good to hear, lifetime alignment is a good solution to your problem. I was wondering what happened. Cheers eh

    That's great to hear & good to know. If you see a drop in mpg & the motor seems to be running fine, having your alignment checked would be a good suggestion to make to someone. That's a significant improvement!

    Glad to hear Pep Boys takes care of you.

    Don't forget that temperature can have a big impact on fuel economy in these cars. We're still warming up here.
