Question:
When you get tire alignment's done, can you do just a rear wheel, or do all the tire need to be done at the same time? Also, what would be an average cost to do the alignment in the United States?
Thanks!

You can have just the rear aligned, but it's not reccomended. Most places won't even do just a rear alignment because even if the front is in alignment, adjusting the rear will throw it out, so it will need to be adjusted anyway. You'll already be paying 40-50 dollars for a 2 wheel alignment anyway, just spring the extra 15-20 and get a four wheel.Why does my water pump have oil all over it?
I love it when you ask people if they want an alignment and they say something ignorant like "no thanks, my steering wheel is straight". They don't realize that an alignment is so much more than that. If your alignment is out, it automatically voids any tire warranty you may have because it destroys the tires, decreases gas mileage and a host of other undesirable side effects.

It's not a 'tire alignment' or a 'wheel alignment'. It's actually a 'steering and suspension alignment'. These people telling you you can only do a front end alignment are, for lack of a better word, idiots. Some vehicles do have non-adjustable rear ends, but most you can do 4 wheel alignments on. You line up the tires by adjusting the tie rods and adjustment sleeves, so aligning the front end and rotating the tires to the rear will have no affect on rear alignment.

There really isn't a rear wheel tire alignment, just on the front.You can get the rear tires balanced if that's what you're asking.
All tires should be balanced, but only front tires get aligned.
Simple front end alignment, assuming that no parts need to be replaced should run about $120-$150. Shop around for best prices.
Talk to the mechanic or shop owner and have him explain to you why what needs to be done.
You should get an all wheel alignment done and yes they do rear. These other people are stupid. You can get just the back done but you should get all wheels done at the same time. It should run you around $200.00-$300.00 depending on where you go.

If you came into my shop and told you wanted just the rear wheels aligned, I would try to explain to you that only front tires are aligned, since only the front tires are used to steer the vehicle and that the rear wheels are just straight ahead and not usually adjustable.My 97 Trooper Brake light doesn't come on (left side) when Pressed.

As to cost, it varies depending on what is needed. If for example we found you also needed new shocks or struts, the price would obviously go up with more parts and labor involved.
what kind of welder is best for aluminum pipe?
Yes, the rear end alone can be aligned on a front wheel drive car.The actual savings you will have by not making any front end adjustments is going to be minimal, probably less than $30.
A 4 wheel alignment with adjustments is typically under $100.00
Most of the expense of an alignment is tied up in racking the car, hanging the alignment heads on the wheels and taking the measurements. Unless the suspension is severely rusted, making adjustments difficult, an alignment is not an expensive procedure.
Is it legal to run a car on cooking oil or cooking oil and diesel mixture?
some cars have adjustable steering and suspension parts at the front and rear. if your car has adjustments at the rear, you need to have all wheels checked for proper alignment. if the rear is out and all you set is the rear, the front will be out as the rear wheels will steer the front through the thrust angle. if the rear isn't adjustable, you align the front to the rear so the car drives straight. what the thrust angle is. consider if the rear wheels are pointing slightly to the right. as you drive, the rear wheels are "pushing" the car to the right. this is especially true of front wheel drive cars. as the rear pushes to the right, you have to steer the front wheels to the right as well to make the car go straight. hence, the vehicle will be going down the road at a very slight side angle while driving. hurts fuel economy and wears tires quicker then. and we're only talking about maybe a quarter of a degree.at out shop, most four wheel alignments for say a honda or like car run $84.97. not expensive if you consider what tires cost. european and some "exotic" cars run up to $220 as long as no parts are required such as tie rods or shims.
No they put balance's on all the tires. All of the wheels are balanced. I know I watch them do it on my car at Hibdons.
What is the best way to remove a sticker on the car window?
It depends on the car. On some car with independant rear suspension, you can do this, although it's only really a good idea if you are getting funny wear on your rear tires and have no problem up front, or are setting up a race car.Where is the best place in Las Vegas, Nevada to have a 4 cylinder engine rebuilt or replaced?
However, on many cars - and on virtually all trucks and truck based SUV's - it's not possible to do a rear wheel alignment. Often, there's nothing in the rear supension you can adjust, shim, or align. At least not without bending the suspension parts in a hydraulic press, which of course is not something the factory would recommend!
