Default Took my 05 R/T Chance for alignment & parts.
Today I took my 05 Mag R/T (CHANCE) in for an alignment and to replace any worn out parts.

First, found out previous owner had replaced springs with MOPAR lowering springs and it appears no other new parts were changed.

Then on to checking the front suspension & found the following:

Both inter tie rod ends needed replacing.

Both Left & Right Stablizer bars needed replacing.

He then called and asked me which type parts I wanted. He could get some made in China cheaper or premium parts mfg. in the USA for a little more. I chose the premium parts ~ well worth the difference to me. He finished up @ 5:30 this afternoon.

Total cost incl. parts, labor, alignment & tax = $464.

I noticed a difference right away; front end felt so much tighter and the dreaded "clunking" sound is now gone.

Then I stopped to the wheel shop and picked up the 3mm wheel spacers I had ordered just in case I decide to put my Magnum SRT wheels on THIS CAR!

OH... and I just couldn't help myself... did a small burn out in front of my wife Tee even with the brand new Michelins. YOU see she was driving her car DEMON which is a 3.5L six cylinder. ~ LOL~
