What did you do for your ZHP/ BMW / MINI today? #2

would you be able to get it fixed near school?

I would be able to redeem my free alignment they didn't finish out there, but I'd probably prefer to change the tie rod myself instead of spending $800 on it and I can't do that out at school. Unless - epiphany - maybe tony could help me out.

Thinking the same thing... Tony and I will set you up at school! Also, you definitely need winter wheels now, those PSS won't cut it

They have to use a torch on my tie rods everyone I get an alignment. Never had a tie rod break, or heard of one breaking.

when they said they could break I was like "ok.. never heard of that." I know evan pretty much took a sledge hammer to his and they were fine. I just looked at mine and the way the guy described them I pictured a super fragile rusted-to-shit tie rod. They barely had that much rust on them. I bet if the guy torched them they'd be fine.

The worst part though, Dane, is that I called BMW Peabody to ask what they could do to help and they said if I brought it to BMW to loosen the bolts they would probably break the tie rods and I'd have to get new tie rods.

So should I just bring it back into Town Fair Tire and have them do the alignment? When I was at TFT I called my mechanic friend and he too said just have them do it - "They'd have to really not know what they're doing to screw that up." Is it really not as big of a risk (breaking the tie rods) as I think?

Up to you my friend. My place always soaks mine down with PB Blaster and heats them red hot.

Had circle bmw disable my rear airbags (for a baby seat), fix a puncture, and align the car feels much better. They did tell me both valve cover and oil filter housing are leaking:(
