[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2930294, member: 15054"] Name them and tell how if you wish. I hate giving money for piddly things I can do myself. So I do them myself.. Unless there is no out of pocket or I am broken and can't do it. say a bad back or something. I do all my own mechanic work on my vehicles. Everything! Build engine and trans and rear and suspension. Paint and body, interior also. Yea Pull my man card I can sew. I cook and clean also. I hate folding. Mount and balance my own tires. align my own front end.. weld my own parts .. fix leaking radiators. So yea I weld and solder and do concrete and roofing.. construction and maintenance on many things. I heard it is called farmer. Farmer had to fix and maintain it all. I was born in the wrong decade. I do pay the doctor when parts are broken though. Dang it. Aligning front ends is easy once you know how they work. Tape measure and eyeball.. sometimes paint.. I know some people that use string. I have used a temp probe before to set camber. Yes my tires wear evenly and I do not rotate them. If you must rotate to make them wear evenly then the suspension is wacked. I had a shop Jack Cooper align my 78 nova was terrible and pulled very hard when I left..I had 4 new tires and mag wheels also. They refunded my alignment cost. That was 25 years ago and never again.
