I need to have my car aligned today due to the replacement of some suspension components yesterday (LH control rod bushing and RH caster adjuster) and a weekend trip to MA. Out of habit with other cars and convenience, I've made an appointment at the local NTB for after work.

Three questions:
1. Does anyone have experience with their alignments on M-B and are they likely to have this spreader?
2. If they don't, is how can they go about mimicking the spreader to get the proper measurements?
3. If I can't get them to do either one or two, will they at least be able to get things close enough to protect the tires for 500+ miles so that I can get things done "correctly" next week or would I be better off just waiting to get it done "correctly"?

Thanks in advance.
