Greetings
My 95 has 110,xxx miles and is wearing the passengers side front tire oddly. It's wearing heavily on the outside edge of the tire. The car is definately out of alignment slightly, it pulls on a nice flat straight road. The tire has the correct amount of air in it.
So, I am thinking it's time for a 4 wheel alignment. I'm wondering if I might be at a good time to have the ball joints, tie rod ends etc replaced as I'm sure they are worn. Also, I've seen some folks just replaced the entire upper control arm, is this a good idea?
If anyone would be willing to post up a list of what I should have checked/replaced, and provide a rough idea of what I'd be spending it would be great. I haven't decided what local place to take it to for the work. I'd love to do the work myself, but I have next to no time and don't really have the experience or the correct tools.
Once I get this buttoned up, I'd like to put a nice set of wheels and tires on the car
Thanks!
