Whether it is FWD or RWD a thrust alignment will track the front wheels =
to the rear wheels. It can be done on either, I only recommended the =
thrust becasue he said he wanted a cheap alignment. The ideal alignment =
would be a true 4 wheel alignment with shims, but trying to find a shop =
willing to do them is difficult at most.

Well, I will be changing them out soon, H&R/bilstiens, as soon as =
soon as UPSuck delivers them. I know I have to do an alignment after I =
do the job but can I get away with just a front end alignment or do I =
have to do all four wheels. I thought I remember reading that there is =
nothing to align on the rear. =20
Anyone have any hints who have done the job before. They would be =
appreciated. Kinda like "when I did mine this happened so make sure you =
do......." Thanks you in advance.
