=========================================
yes, this is the normal way to do it, afaik.  and any competent shop that does
alignments should offer a one-year warrantee - they'll re-czech/re-adjust  your
alignment for a year (after the poly bushings show up!)

============================
to czech the gear oil level, fill it 'til it starts coming out!  you should be
able to find the t/a drain plug, at the side of the t/a, on the bottom.  i
recommend using lubrication engineers gear oil, as awailable from eriminas, in
ct, torrington, i believe.

good luck,
