Alignment ? AFTER I have searched....
All,
I did a search for alignment : http://forums.maxima.org/search.php?...der=descending
and didn't find the answer I was looking for. I know that the max does not NEED a 4 wheel alignment, since there are no adjustments in the rear.
here's my question:
I was going thru a narrow drive thru, and someone proceeded to come at me from a different one (imagine having 2 fast food joints facing each other). Reguardless, I was the one leaving first, but the lady was trying to proceed. I ended up cutting my wheel too sharp, and bumped my rear wheel against the curb. It wasn't TOO forceful, and there wasn't a big scuff on the tire (not wheel thank God), but you could tell where the impact was. I can't see a difference in the camber of the wheel (even though that is not an adjustment). Does anyone think I should take this in to get looked at? The ONLY reason why I am sweating this is b/c I just got some new tires about 3K ago, and I don't want to FAUK them up
Thanks in advance!

You should be fine. Does the car still handle like it should?

But maybe it's just me and my A/R nature, but it felt like it was pushed a bit on the right side(a.k.a. Jacked up).
Oh well thanks for responding!

There is really no way of telling how your car is over the internet. If you are worried about it, take it to a FRAME shop(to verify the settings). Firestone and other generic alignment shops can only handle the factory adjustments. If you car is truely slightly out of alignment, only a frame shop will know how to bend your beam suspension back into specs.

BTW, what's the cost on that just out of curiousity
