well here's the problem guys. i think he was lying about the alignment. today i took it to another garage where they checked it my car's upper tables(both sides), tie rod ends (both sides) and left bearing are almost finished. so i have to get these parts plus 4 tires which will cost me another good 500$. ohh well i guess the tie rods ball joints are maintenance and they eventually wear out. car's engine is still fine at 216000 kilometres(not miles).

leaving topic aside. i live in Canada where the car speed is shown in km. i wanna get reverse glow guages off ebay but the problem is the display is in miles. how do i get around with it :S
