I have a 92 topaz 5spd 2 door
I replace the drums in back and rotors in front with brakes all the way around. Also added 2 control arms due to bad ball joint.

After I did all this my alignment Is now massively pulling to the right.
and after I hit every damn bump in usa. My steering wheel relocates and slides the car for a second.

The struts are bad all the way around. I would half to fix the struts before I can do an alignment right?

Are sturts hard to replace to do it yourself?

Do I need anything else to go with struts to do a proper alignment

you dont need to do the struts to get it aligned, but you should if they are bad.

if you dont do them now and get it aligned, youre probably going to have to get it aligned again after the struts


and no, struts are very easy to do you self. and if you dont have all the tools to do it, you can rent them from the local auto parts store

I tip my hat to anyone who keeps a car on the road longer than 250,000 miles.


I'll straight up remove it for you.

Nice work. Keep it going!
