This is going to sound odd, but stay with me for a minute..

Sears Auto Centers have the proper machinery to align our cars. A few people here have used them, and it seems just fine.

Bad wheel bearing on a 2000 A8L at only 31,000miles

The seal broke, water got in, and the right one was completely shot when I bought the car. There was a rythmic vibration on the right front wheel that would get more intense any time you turned to the wheel to the left while driving, thus putting more load on the bad right wheel and accentuating the problem. They replaced it under warranty at the dealer.

Where in Toledo area are you? I went to school there. I miss Tony Packo's (?sp) hot dogs/chili

I lived there in the early 1990's next to Inverness golf course, off of Dorr St (I think thats the street name).

Lots of good screaming ricy motorcycles redlining it (sounds like Indycars) in the Spring and Summer on Saturday mornings on Dorr St.

I had an Acura Legend Coupe at the time, and the dealer there, close to Hwy 80/90 (exit 4 ?) seemed to be very good. Always a pleasant experience. I went in one time for an oil change, and while in their waiting area, a salesman walked by and asked me to go for a ride in an NSX. Good fun.

I remember going for test drives in some neat cars at a dealership called Vin Devers (?).
