Alignment question

Can all 4 wheels on a 93 SE be aligned or is it like the 95+ maximas that can only take a 4 wheel thrust alignment since the rear wheels can't be adjusted?

Also, how has people's experience been with Firestone alighnments some people say good, some say bad, but I don't know. THye have a good deal on a lifetime alignment service for $150 vs. $50 for a one time 4 wheel alighment. I was thinking of going for the lifetime deal, but not if it's going to be a total waste of $$.

the lifetime mess just means that you can go back and get it redone after you whack a pothole.

as for whether they're good or bad depends on the guy working in the shop. generally those type of workers dont' hang around for more than a few months before going somewhere else.

since the 3rd gen has independent rear suspension, you can adjust toe on them, but that's it. camber is adjustable if you buy more parts.

on the front, it's pretty much the same deal, but there's enough play in the strut-to-spindle bolts that oyu can adjust camber a degree or so.

caster is unadjustable on both ends of the car.
