That reminds me of a fun story: .....I take it to a dealer.
Those two statements
never go together. :lol:
It comes back with every single allen head rounded off
Based on my previous statement, this is not at all surprising... are there
ever any good stories about taking something to a dealership?
I had a '72 Chevy LUV pickup in their first year, bought it right out of high school. Hit a curb with it in the rain the following year, bent the lower control arm. My Dad helped me take it off, heat it and straighten it, then put it back on. Front suspension was torsion bar springs (interesting, because I had previously owned a DOHC CL450 and that same year, my 450 drag bike) and I wasn't smart enough at the time to count the number of turns on the torsion bar tensioner bolt when I removed it so I could put it back close to where it was adjusted previously before getting it aligned after the repair. Took it to the dealership to get the front end aligned
and specifically told the service advisor that I knew the torsion bar on that side needed to be adjusted properly. Picked it up and the wheels looked right, until I noticed that the height on the driver's side was still a lot higher than the passenger side... the "tech" hadn't touched the torsion bar, just aligned it as it was. I lowered the height to a more appropriate setting and the camber was off as a result (leaning outward), and the tire wore on the outside... was so disgusted with the dealer that I never took it back. What a surprise, huh? even that long ago...
