#21 of 28 Aligning Camber of rear wheel by twohundred May 20, 2008 (2:55 pm)
I recently changed my rear struts on my 1995 Buick Lesabre. I replaced my springs also. On one side of my car the bottom of the tire is tilted out and the top is tilted in. How do I go about fixing this. I have to do most of everything myself because I am financially strapped at this time.   Thank you,   2 HUNDRED Replies to this message: imidazol97 (May 21, 2008 5:41 am)

Replying to: twohundred (May 20, 2008 2:55 pm) It needs an alignment. When you replace struts an alignment needs to be done or you'll wear the tires, which is expensive.

Replying to: 17thabn (Feb 19, 2009 5:51 pm) Can't find the parts on rockauto.com gmpartsdirect.com has   link title Identify the part or parts and look in their listing under rear suspension. I'd sure do some asking for parts at local advanceauto and autozone and others. The replacement brands should work just as well.   Good luck. What happened to yours?
#25 of 28 Inner tie rods 99 lesabre by 17thabn Feb 20, 2009 (9:40 am)
I replaced the front inner and outer tie rods.I was looking at the back ones.I found out today that the rear inner tie rods are replaced,not pressed in.Just as I suspected.I took off the mini boot that is on it and greased them up and put the boot back on and then replaced the outer tie rods on them.The inners are good for another 10-20000 milkes.I was lamenting to Medley's Alignment(after I did the front end inners and outers and rear outers I had to get it aligned)he said he could get them for me for $80 apiece.Heck of a lot better than $128.By the way it drives like a New Car.

Replying to: wjohns02 (Jan 23, 2006 6:27 pm) I have the 2005 Buick lesabre that had the vibration at 65-70 MPH. I tried every thing that I could think of to stop the problem. The dealership said they could not find any thing wrong. We changed the tires to the Michelin Harmony had the force tested and nothing help. Them a mechanic suggested to change the front struts and rear shocks’. This took care of the variation. I have over a 100k on the car. I did not try this until it had 90k. I would have gladly paid the money for the ride it now has. Replies to this message: imidazol97 (Sep 30, 2009 3:49 pm)

Replying to: searcher9 (Sep 30, 2009 9:05 am) What shocks and struts did you put on? Brand and model? How do you like the ride compared to the original? My car has 90K and I'm beginning to think about replacements in 20-30K
