Question
I was told that I must change a part on my 1999 Honda CRV in order to get an alignment. What is this part and what is the average cost to change it.

Answer
Jake,
  This question leaves a LOT of questions from me. There are probably 4-5 different parts on the front end of your CRV that could need to be changed that involve the alignment.
  Some of the more popular items that may need to be changed are Lower Ball Joints, Upper Strut Mounts, Inner Tie Rod Ends, Outer Tie Rod Ends or Hub Bearings (OR Hub Assembly).
  There are probably a couple of obscure other items that I have forgotten but I need to know EXACTLY which part you need. There are just too many to assume what your CRV needs.
  Keep in touch and let me know what you need and we can move forward with your inquiry..

Heretofore, I will NOT answer any mechanical question. I am not qualified and can only offer speculations. You are better served by others that are true Techs. With that being said, please only ask about parts and locating obsolete Auto Parts. Thank you. I have the ability to locate quite a few mechanical parts for American made vehicles fron the 1900`s to present. Some are OEM and some are aftermarket. This would include engine, brake and chassis parts. Body parts and trim are VERY difficult to find but you may inquire. If you need assistance in repair, I have illustrated books for major American manufacturers that show some illustrations BEFORE 1974. If needed, I can supply repair manuals for your specific vehicle. PLEASE REMEBER I'M A PARTS SPECIALIST, NOT A TECH!! Thank you.. Skip
