It pulled right after it was done.. I actually haven't noticed if it still does since I got used to it. Hmm, thinkin back, maybe that's why my studs snapped, those fools at the tire shop probably didn't use a torque wrench. Anyhow, since everybody else seems to have good things to say about them, I guess I'll give them another chance the next time I need an alignment done. <img border="0" alt="[patriot]" title="" src="graemlins/patriot.gif" /> <br /><br />Btw, the price was about $150 for an alignment in case the poster was wondering. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
