I put new tires on my car last week, and afterwards my car pulled a little to the left. (Note: before tire change the alignment was perfect) I took my car to a nearby shop to have the alignment done and my oil changed. $116 later I have synthetic in the car and my alignment is MUCH worse. The guy tells me that he got the alignment as straight as possible but that my lower tie bars are shot, meaning my alignment won't be right until I pay him $255 to replace them.

I went back there today to talk to someone else about my tie bars. Oddly enough, as soon as I walked in the door the guy behind the counter knew what I was there for. Mind you, this guy was not there yesterday. When I told him that my alignment was fine a week ago, he said that the urethane bushings can wear out "from one day to another". This sounds like a load to me, how about you guys? Is there any way to check my bushings? I looked at them today and they felt really solid, but I don't have a brand new Spec V to compare them to.
