Getting ready to replace a tie rod end on my B5 S4. Assuming I'll need a re-alignment (think I need one any anyway) - the car is slightly lowered. Who are you guys using for alignments at reasonable prices these days in Denver?

TIA

I always recommend Tire Source in Boulder $50. It's worth the drive.

3zero3 has a new alignment machine. Probably not going to be $50 though.

A tie rod end should just affect toe, no big deal to DIY a toe alinment. The HF toe gauge is actually pretty useable if you have room for it under the car or drive up onto some 2x8 scraps. I have also had good results using chalk marks on the garage floor (actually I use a sliver of soap) and a plumb bob. For toe though there are lots of easy ways to check it, particularly easy if you ahve a nice rain groove in your tire to measure from.

Thanks for the replies, guys. I was curious if there were any new, good, and convenient shops I didn't know about. I took the S4 to Perfection - as they had actually done the car a few times prior and they are convenient - however I got there and the machine was broken :-( I _needed_ the car done asap so took it to Merrill in Lakewood - who has also done good work for me in the past.

Thanks again

I can't imagine anything has changed in a week.

When I _first_ posted I was curious if there were any new shops. Umm Yeah - somehow I doubt a new hot shot shop opened up in that week....
