Firestone couldn't get the rear adjusters loose to adjust the alignment.
This kinda sucks, because while it IS within specs, it's not right and it's bugging me.
it's never been touched since 95. Any ideas on what I could do to break it loose? PBlaster hasn't worked for me

Re: My alignment is stuck in the rear
Mine are like that off the parts car. Absolutely no way to get them loose. I'm hoping that the ones off the daily driver are better or I'm buying new.
94' RS/GS/MS/CF Monster Turbo...coming soon.
93' GS SE, the Black Beast, the former love of my life...soon to be gutted and crushed.
94' GS, black on black, now in several small pieces...and one large crushed piece.

Re: My alignment is stuck in the rear
That's good news
Re: My alignment is stuck in the rear
Rusted solid? Damn. Try heating with a torch, maybe? How long have you sprayed them with PB? Try some more, and if not, I'd replace, so they can be adjusted if needs be.
Re: My alignment is stuck in the rear
I have had this problem with every part of my suspension. It's not even really rusted, they're just locked tight.
It's pretty rough and tough. bleh.
I might try torching it. If not, best to purchase a new one.

Re: My alignment is stuck in the rear
Same problem here.
Did you car roll or used to roll on salted roads, too?
I was thinking replace mine with parts from JY, but I would'nt know how to transport the owl assembly in the car.

Re: My alignment is stuck in the rear
my car's been a southern car. We don't use salt.
It's possible it was originally a florida car.
