If you don't want your Max leaning to the left(or right).

yes you need it. Get it or you could end up with massive tire wear very quickly. Ie 100 miles. It never hurts to get it dun. DOn't let them over charge you for a 4 wheel alignment. Cuz you can only adjust the front.

Yup...shops usually offer 2-wheel or 4-wheel alignments. I've seen 2 wheels for $29.99 with coupon. Watch out, they'll usually try to talk you into doing all 4 wheels. Not necessary.

damn!! i wish i read this post before i paid 60 bucks for alignment... oh well... well, since that 60 was for 4 wheels, i think 30 for two would be a fair price....
