Subaru Crosstrek awd, I replaced struts. Any alignment shop recommendations? Alignment Dr. is no longer around.

Tire Man... Just had Durango 4x4 done. $75, about an hour & provided a comprehensive report of all significant angular parameters for front and rear suspension! 😁

Did the struts issue jack up your tire wear or did you catch it early enough?

Friend’s Outback was making wierd noises, took it to dealer who dismissed the issue. She had just put new tires on.

9 months later again back at the dealer complaining about the same noises and now they take her seriously and swapped out all the struts.

Except now her front tires have extreme shoulder wear after only 9 months and 10,000 miles. Subaru refused to acknowledge their fault in not fixing it sooner and Costco, where she bought the tires, refused her too as the tires “didn’t wear evenly”. Now she’s looking at a whole new set of four tires after 10k miles on the last set. Good tires ain’t cheap (she had the Bridgestone Weatherpeaks) and she’ll probably get another set but it’s a spend she didn’t think she had to do again so soon and with no proration it’s full price.

85k on the clock, and I’m sure it needs them, (the 40 from needles to the 95 turn off at 80 I’m sure hasn’t helped things)
