went and had my tire flipped today (i.e. now the whitewall is showing and looks stupid since its the only one)

this will give me some more time before i get the parts in for the alignment

the alignment guy put my car up on his machine and lifted the front end and checked out the front suspension. apparently the left and right upper control arms need to be replaced since they are no longer zero tolerance according to him and the right side lower ball joint i guess it is needs to be replace(i whacked the right side)

that sound about right to you guys? ive got the money for the parts.. but they charge 65$ an hour (by the book) to do work.. shouldnt be to hard to do ball joints and an UCA?

they can do my w123 they just dont have the spreader bar but he assured me that .02 degrees off is just fine and they have been doing it for years on the w123 and other mercedes benzes... hell 50$ sounds good to me
