My wheel alignment was off and i had to get the upper and lower controller arm on the passenger side wheel. But after this is done i took the car for a spin this weekend and noticed a rattling sound. I am definelty taking it back to the shop tomorrow morning but before i do this anyone have any ideas what it could be. It just sounds like something is rubbing together or not enough grease not sure what it is.
BTW i saw a little of the tire ripped up on the wall didn't go all the way through but want to know about that too. Will i need to replace the tire.

Thanks all in advance.

more than likely, they forgot to tighten one of the control arm/shock bolts bolts to spec, or the sway bar linkage is loose. Tell them NOT to screw around and use a damn torque wrench. WATCH them do it, they WILL blow you off if you dont stand there, I can gauarantee you that.

thanks for the heads up for south salem ny.
I was wondering if there is some just as reliable in the the new jersey area. Either that or i am going to have to buy a trailer to make life easier for me.
