Default Things to do before alignment

I need to get an alignment on the 951. The car seems real squirrelly on the highway. Before I do that, I want to swap out the maintenance parts so I don't have to do alignment again if they all of the sudden wear out.

Ball Joints - Done.
Caster Blocks - 968 version.
Struts - Done.
Tie Rod ends - To be done (Where is the best place to get them cheap and what brand should I get???)

Anything else I should do before the alignment?

Caster blocks. Chances are yours are dead or nearly dead. Mine were.

New ones are the 968 ones that are much better, plus they are slightly different in terms of hole position.

$160 for two, but well worth it, once you see the old ones.

Cheers,

Keith
