I had the local tire shop who seem to be pretty good do the SDL a few years back. But ever since its pulled to the left a bit, the tires are wearing fine though. It doesn't bother me enough to pay the dealer $100 to fix it.

They charge me $70 and didn't do such a hot job, the dealer should be able to do it right and I have seen them offer it for $100. Throw in one of those 10% things they give out and your down to $90.

Not fimiliar with spreader bar, or pressed and unpressed toe, so cannot answer. The print out does not specify. If the tires don't shread themselves, I'm happy. tjohn, they do have a monsterous digital aligner which should take out the weighted deal, maybe pressed etc. also. I've got soft Potenzas on the front, which will wear out in less than six months, at least the first set did, which is why this excercise began in the first place. Has tracked straight since purchase six months ago, albeit with crooked steering wheel, now straight, this is my daily driver.
